In the first ballot for the election of representatives of professional journalists, each list is drawn up by the representative employee organisations at national level. When the number of voters is less than half of the registered voters, a second ballot is held within one month. For the second ballot, voters may vote for lists other than those presented by the aforementioned organisations. The technical details of the ballot are…

The chairman of the Professional Journalists Identity Card Committee is alternately a representative of the employers and a representative of the professional journalists. It is decided by lot who chairs the committee the first time.
The Professional Journalists Identity Card Committee shall draw up its own rules of procedure. The committee may only deliberate when at least five representatives of employers and five representatives of professional journalists are present and take part in the vote. When, during a meeting, one of the two categories has more members present than the other, the number of its representatives authorised to take part in the vote is reduced…
Decisions by the Professional Journalists Identity Card Committee, in particular those involving the issue, renewal or cancellation of the card, are taken by an absolute majority of the representatives present.
Any decision by the Professional Journalists Identity Card Committee may be appealed by the person concerned to the Higher Committee referred to in article R. 7111-32.
The time limit for lodging a complaint with the Higher Commission is one full month from notification of the decision to cancel, refuse to issue or renew the card. For persons domiciled in France who have been temporarily expelled for a recognised legitimate reason, the time limit for lodging a complaint with the High Commission is extended to six months.
