The election is conducted either by acclamation if there only is one nominated candidate, or by secret ballot if there are two or more nominees. If there are at two least nominations then the election is carried out by closed ballot, with each member of parliament offering his or her vote. To be elected, the nominee must receive a minimum of half of the votes. If no person receives more than half of the votes in the first round, a second round is carried out under the same rules. If a majority is still not obtained, a third round is carried out in which the person who receives the most votes is elected.
