The members of the nurses’ association councils are elected in a single-round majority binominal ballot. Each pair is made up of candidates of different genders. If the Council of the Order has an uneven number of members, the member of the last elected pair drawn by lot is considered to be elected.
Elected substitutes shall be of the same gender as the member they are deputising for.
Notwithstanding the preceding paragraphs
1° When the number of nurses of the same sex registered on the roll of the Association and fulfilling the conditions of eligibility is less than or equal to 30, the Council of the Association is elected by a single-ballot majority system;
2° When the number of nurses of the same sex registered on the roll of the professional body and meeting the conditions of eligibility is greater than the threshold set in 1° but less than 10% of the total number of nurses in the territorial jurisdiction of the council concerned, the election is held by a single-member, first-past-the-post ballot and the number of seats allocated to members of that sex is proportional to the actual proportion they represent in that territorial jurisdiction, in accordance with the procedures defined by decree in the Conseil d’Etat.
A decree in the Conseil d’Etat shall determine the procedures for implementing this article.
