In the first ballot for the election of representatives of professional journalists, each list is drawn up by the representative employee organisations at national level. When the number of voters is less than half of the registered voters, a second ballot is held within one month.
For the second ballot, voters may vote for lists other than those presented by the aforementioned organisations.
The technical details of the ballot are set out in the electoral agreement or, failing that, in the commission’s rules of procedure.
