Immediately after the election of the President and under his chairmanship, the Assembly of Martinique shall elect its four Vice-Presidents.
The Vice-Presidents shall be elected by list ballot. Each councillor to the Assembly of Martinique or each group of councillors may present a list of candidates. Each list is composed alternately of one candidate of each sex. A group of councillors that does not have a sufficient number of members of each sex may complete its list with candidates of the same sex.
Lists are lodged with the president of the assembly within one hour of its election. If, on expiry of this time limit, only one list has been lodged, the seats of vice-president are then immediately filled in the order of the list and read out by the president of the assembly.
If this is not the case, the assembly of Martinique proceeds to the election of the vice-presidents which takes place by proportional representation with the highest average, without panachage or preferential vote, between the lists mentioned in the second paragraph. Seats are allocated to candidates in the order of presentation on each list. If several lists have the same average for the allocation of the last seat, the seat is allocated to the list that has obtained the highest number of votes. In the event of a tie, the seat is awarded to the oldest candidate eligible to be declared elected. If the number of candidates on a list is less than the number of seats to which it is entitled, the seat or seats not filled shall be awarded to the next highest average.
The vice-presidents are appointed for the same term as the president of the assembly.
