The regional council elects from among its members by secret ballot, for a term of four years, a chairman, one or two vice-chairmen, a secretary and a treasurer, who constitute the bureau. The number of members of the executive committee may be increased to seven or nine if the number of members of the regional company exceeds five hundred or one thousand respectively.
The term of office of the chairman is not renewable. The term of office of the other officers is renewable once.
Appointments are made by an absolute majority of votes in the first round, and by a relative majority in the second.
