The organisation of the elections is entrusted to the Board of the National Council of Sworn Freight Brokers which, before 15 October preceding the date of the renewal of the Council, sets the date for the opening of the ballot in the first fortnight of December and ensures that it is publicised. As soon as this date has been set, the President shall notify the electors of the date and procedures for the electoral operations, as well as the date and place of the counting operations.
