Each member remains an individual elector and eligible for election to the Association Council, without the company itself being an elector or eligible for election.
However, no more than one-fifth of the members of the departmental council of the ordre may be from the same company.
When the number of practitioners associated with the same company elected to the departmental council exceeds this proportion, those elected are eliminated successively, in reverse order of the number of votes obtained, so that those called to sit on the council do not exceed the proportion provided for in the previous paragraph.
In the event of a tie, the oldest candidate will be called to sit.
