ARTICLE 52
Procedure of voting
1. Each electoral college shall vote by secret ballot.
2. The Chairperson of each electoral college shall ask the representative of
the President of the Conference to read the list of delegates who have the
right to vote. Each delegate shall come forward as their names are called and
place their voting papers in the ballot box.
3. The counting of the votes shall be carried out under the direction of the
representative of the President of the Conference assisted by two returning
officers appointed by the electoral college from among its members. However,
if an electoral college requests to vote by electronic means, the provisions
of article 19, paragraph 16, concerning a vote by secret ballot shall apply.
4. No State or person shall be considered to be elected without having
obtained more than half of the votes cast by the members of the electoral
college present at the meeting. If after the first vote one or more seats
remain to be filled, one or more further votes shall be taken as may be
necessary, each member of the electoral college being entitled to vote for a
number of candidates equal to the number of seats which still remain to be
filled.
5. On the conclusion of the voting the Chairperson of the electoral college
shall announce the result of the meeting and a report shall be drawn up for
communication to the Conference and deposited in the archives of the
International Labour Office. This report shall be signed by the Chairperson of
the electoral college and countersigned by the representative of the President
of the Conference.
