No one can have more than one vote.
The Chief Executive Officer sets the date of the elections and publishes the list of electors.

It is sent by correspondence, within the same period, to electors who do not have access to the display sites.

After consultation with the Electoral Operations Control Board referred to in Title VI, which, in particular, deliberates on the merits of the claims, the Director General of the Institute shall determine the final election list at least ten days before the date of the election.
Electors who do their schooling at a polling station vote directly on the ballot box. Electoral operations are carried out publicly, in the premises of the institute and according to a schedule decided by the director general of the institute.

This stamped fold is placed in a third envelope (this envelope n° 3) bearing the mention "election to the board of directors ―college D" that the elector addresses by mail to the polling station to which he is attached.

During the voting period, any propaganda is prohibited inside the voting rooms.
A polling station is established for College D and voting sections can be established.
The Director General of the Institute shall designate, for the polling station and, where appropriate, for each polling section, a president and at least two assessors, including one member of the administration and one member selected from non-candidate volunteer students.
Each list in attendance has the right to propose a assessor. If the number of assailants proposed by the lists is greater than three, the office or section may be composed of four assessors, three of whom are designated by lot among the assessors proposed by the lists.
The voting section collects votes to the ballot box and transmits them, without counting them, to the president of the voting office.
The polling station and the polling division provisionally decide on the difficulties encountered during the electoral process. Their decisions are motivated and must be recorded in the minutes.
Members of the electoral control board have access at any time to each polling station or polling division.
Each polling station or section has one or more isoloirs and an urn. The office or section checks that the ballot box is empty and closed at the beginning of the election and ensures that it remains closed until the ballot is closed.
For the duration of the voting operations, a copy of the electoral list certified by the Director General of the Institute remains deposited on the table around which the office or voting section is located. This copy is the starting list.
The vote is secret. The passage through isoloir is mandatory.
The ballots and envelopes are placed at the disposal of electors in each polling station and section and remain under the responsibility of the electors.
Each elector of College D votes for a single list using a single ballot before entering an envelope.
After completing the identity check, the elector deposits his envelope in the urn and enters his signature on the bootlist.
At the end of the poll, the president of the polling division forwards the ballot box, along with the stand-by list, to the president of the polling station.
At the end of the poll, the polling station conducts the census of votes by correspondence. The envelopes n° 3 and the envelopes n° 2 are open. As envelopes 2 are opened, the list of electors is started and envelope 1 is filed in the ballot box containing the votes of the students who voted directly on the ballot box.
Excepted without being open and annexed to the minutes:
– Envelopes from electors who took part directly in the vote. In such a case, the correspondence vote is not taken into account;
— envelopes No. 3 reached after the closing hour of the ballot;
― envelopes No. 2 on which the name and signature of the voter or on which the name is illegible;
– multiple envelopes reached under the signature of the same student;
– envelopes No. 1 reached in multiple numbers under the same envelope No. 2;
- envelopes No. 1 bearing a distinctive mention or sign;
– envelopes not in accordance with the model provided by the administration.
The name of the voters whose envelopes emanate is not on the list of electors.
The polling station shall prepare a record of the census of votes by correspondence. These are annexed to this report the envelopes which have been set aside without being opened with reference to the causes of their annexation.
The remains are public. The polling station shall be among the electors at least three deputy returning officers who shall be present at the time of counting.
Members of the electoral control board have access at any time to counting operations.
The voting office counts the number of envelopes from the opening of the ballot box. If their number is different from that of the start, reference is made to the report.
During the counting of the ballot, are not recorded in the valid votes cast and are considered null:
white ballots;
- the ballots found in the urn without envelope;
― the ballots that are ratted, torn, with overadded inscriptions or signs of recognition;
- bulletins not in accordance with the model provided by the administration;
– the multiple bulletins contained in the same envelope and identifying different lists.
When several ballots in an envelope designate the same list, they are considered validly expressed and count for a single vote.
A record of counting operations is prepared, which is annexed to the ballots considered null and the non-regulatory envelopes. Each attached bulletin or envelope must be countersigned and mention the causes of the annexation.
The number of votes cast equals the total number of votes collected by all lists. The electoral quota is equal to the total number of votes cast divided by the number of seats to be filled. It is assigned to each list as many seats as the number of its votes contains the electoral quota.
The seats not distributed by application of these provisions are allocated successively to the lists that contain the strongest remains. When a list has obtained a lower number of votes than the electoral quota, the number of votes remains.
When several lists have the same rest, the seat returns to the list with the largest number of votes. If the lists in question obtained the same number of votes, the seat shall be assigned by lot.
When the number of seats assigned to a list exceeds the number of candidates nominated by this list, the seats exceeding that number are not allocated; a by-election was then made.
The seats are assigned to the candidates by order of presentation on the list.
At the end of the electoral process, the polling station shall prepare a report, signed by the members of the office, which shall be delivered to the Chairman of the Electoral Operations Control Board.
Within three days of the end of the electoral process, the supervisory committee proclaims the results of the election that are posted, without delay, on the premises of the institute.
The results can be contested within seven days of the posting by declaration given to the Director General of the Institute who delivers it. The electoral control board shall deliberate within fifteen days of the filing of the contestation.
Valid ballots and envelopes are retained until the dispute period expires.
During each election, a commission for the control of electoral operations is established which may be competent for other elections of the institute taking place at the same time. It is composed of a president and two assessors chosen by it. The Minister of Defence shall designate the Chairperson of the Board and his alternate on the proposal of the Director General of the Institute.
The Electoral Control Board shall exercise the powers set out in articles 6, 14, 17, 22 and 25 of this Order. The deliberations of the control committee are enforceable.
Any elector and the director general of the institute may invoke the irregularity or invalidity of the electoral operations before the administrative tribunal of Toulouse after having previously lodged an appeal before the electoral control board.
The Administrative Court shall be seized by the sixth day after the decision of the Administrative Court. He's in a maximum of two months.
