The Martinique Assembly may call into question the responsibility of the Executive Council by voting a motion of no confidence. This is only admissible if it is signed by at least one third of the councillors at the Martinique Assembly. Each councillor may not sign more than one motion per calendar year.
The motion of no confidence shall mention, on the one hand, the grounds on which it is presented and, on the other hand, the list of names of the candidates for the offices of President and Executive Councillor of Martinique called upon to exercise the functions provided for in this title in the event of the motion of no confidence being adopted.
The Assembly shall meet as of right five clear days after the motion is tabled. The vote shall take place during the following two days. If there is no quorum, the vote is postponed until the following day. The deadlines mentioned in this paragraph do not include Sundays and public holidays.
Only votes in favour of the no-confidence motion are counted, which can only be adopted by a majority of three-fifths of the councillors in the Assembly of Martinique.
The President of the Assembly proclaims the results of the vote and immediately forwards them to the representative of the State. The results of the ballot may be contested by any member of the assembly or by the representative of the State before the administrative court within five days of this proclamation.
When the no-confidence motion is passed, the duties of the members of the Executive Council cease ipso jure. The candidates for the offices of President of the Executive Council and Executive Councillor shall be declared elected and shall take up their duties immediately.
