If the third ballot is inconclusive, the next ballot shall be restricted to the two candidates
who obtained the greatest number of votes in the third ballot and so on, with unrestricted
and restricted ballots alternating, until a person or member is elected.
3.
If the second ballot is inconclusive and a two-thirds majority is required, the
balloting shall be continued until one candidate secures the necessary two-thirds majority.
In the next three ballots, votes may be cast for any eligible candidate. If three such
unrestricted ballots are inconclusive, the next three ballots shall be restricted to the two
candidates who obtained the greatest number of votes in the third such unrestricted ballot,
and the following three ballots shall be unrestricted, and so on until a person or member is
elected.
Rule 60
Conduct of elections when two or more elective places are to be filled
When two or more elective places are to be filled at one time under the same
conditions, those candidates obtaining in the first ballot the majority required shall be
elected. If the number of candidates obtaining such majority is less than the number of
persons or members to be elected, there shall be additional ballots to fill the remaining
places, the voting being restricted to the candidates obtaining the greatest number of votes
in the previous ballot, to a number not more than twice the places remaining to be filled;
provided that, after the third inconclusive ballot, votes may be cast for any eligible
candidates. If three such unrestricted ballots are inconclusive, the next three ballots shall be
restricted to the candidates who obtained the greatest number of votes in the third of the
unrestricted ballots, to a number not more than twice the places remaining to be filled, and
the following three ballots thereafter shall be unrestricted, and so on until all the places
have been filled.
