Article L4123-8 of the French Public Health Code

Alternate members are elected under the same conditions as the full members and in the same ballot.

The number of alternate members is set by regulation.

These alternate members replace the full members who are prevented from sitting or who cease to hold office for any reason before the end of their term. In the latter case, the term of office of the alternate members is that which would have remained until the date on which the term of office of those whom they replace would have expired.

In the case of doctors and dental surgeons, the alternate member replacing the full member shall be of the same gender as the full member.

Original in French 🇫🇷
Article L4123-8

Des membres suppléants sont élus dans les mêmes conditions que les membres titulaires et au cours du même scrutin.

Le nombre des membres suppléants est fixé par voie réglementaire.

Ces membres suppléants remplacent les membres titulaires qui sont empêchés de siéger ou qui viennent à cesser leurs fonctions pour une cause quelconque avant la fin de leur mandat. Dans ce dernier cas, la durée de fonctions des membres suppléants est celle qui restait à courir jusqu’à la date à laquelle aurait expiré le mandat de ceux qu’ils remplacent.

S’agissant des médecins et des chirurgiens-dentistes, le membre suppléant qui remplace le membre titulaire est du même sexe que ce dernier.
