The Congress reported that the plenary election session will be in person by means of ballot papers.
According to article 12 of the Regulations of Congress, these are the steps of the election:
a) After reading the lists of candidates, the Board of Directors invites two congressmen to act as tellers and monitor the normal development of the electoral act. The ballot papers will be signed by the scrutineers and immediately distributed. Immediately followingwards, the president suspends the session for a few minutes so that the parliamentarians fill out the ballots.
b) Once the session is reopened, the president of the Congress deposits her vote in the amphora, then the other members of the Table and the congressional tellers will do so; the others are immediately invited, in alphabetical order, to deposit their ballot papers.
c) Once the call to vote is finished, the scrutiny is carried out, vote by vote, with the help of the scrutinizing congressmen.
d) After the count, the elected members of the Board of Directors are proclaimed to the candidates of the list that has managed to obtain a number of votes equal to or greater than the simple majority of concurrent congressmen.
If no list obtains a simple majority, a second vote will be held, following the same procedure, between the two lists with the highest number of votes, proclaiming the candidates of the list that obtains the highest number of votes.
e) The successful candidates are then sworn in and immediately assume their duties.
f) The result of the election is officially communicated to the President of the Republic and the other heads of the Supreme Court of Justice, the Constitutional Court, the National Elections Jury, the Office of the Attorney General, the Ombudsman, and to the provincial regional and municipal instances of the country.
