Each public institution with a scientific, cultural and professional character advertises these lists and associated faith professions by posting.
The Ministry of Higher Education and Research provides public institutions of a scientific, cultural and professional nature with envelopes No. 1, No. 2 and No. 3 which must be used for the election.
The n° 2 envelope bears an alphanumeric index generated randomly and authenticating the voting material specific to the elector. It also includes various mentions to be made by the elector.
The lists of candidates, whose impression is assured at the institution level, are used as ballots to be introduced in envelope No. 1.
The voting material must be withdrawn in the establishment personally by the elector or his agent, and by justifying his identity, at the opening hours of the service established by the chief of establishment from Monday, 3, to Friday, 7 June 2013.
I. ― A large elector who cannot be present in his or her establishment during the period set out in the preceding article for the withdrawal of the voting material may, on his or her request, have the elector removed by an agent to transmit it to him or her after having withdrawn it.
The proxy is given to an agent who is a student regularly enrolled in the same institution. No one can carry more than one proxy.
II. - The power of attorney is established, in the presence of the principal, by the establishment in which he is an elector.
This power of attorney may be established at a distance when the principal justifies, for reasons related to the conduct of his or her studies or for health reasons, the impossibility of moving to establish the power of attorney under the conditions set out in the preceding paragraph. In this case, a proxy print is sent to him by the institution electronically with a request for an acknowledgement of receipt.
The principal justifies his identity by producing his student card and an authentic identity document. The names and names of the principal and the agent he designate are displayed on the proxy.
The power of attorney, signed by the principal and covered by the establishment's stamp, is retained by the establishment, which is responsible for its confidentiality.
III. - The possibility to issue a warrant for the withdrawal of the voting material to which it is intended is open to any elector until Thursday, 23 May 2013.
Until that date, the principal may present himself in the institution to denounce a previously established warrant. When the power of attorney has been established remotely, the denunciation of the mandate may be carried out remotely in the same forms. In the event of denunciation of the pre-established mandate, the elector may not designate another agent.
After 23 May 2013, a duly established mandate, not denounced in accordance with the procedure described above, is irrevocable and presumed to be fully implemented.
Each elector must pass his or her vote, from the date of the opening of the election specified in section 1 above, using exclusively the voting material provided by the administration.
It inserts its ballot in envelope No. 1 of blue colour bearing no distinctive sign; it introduces this envelope into envelope No. 2 on which it applies its signature and informs the intended mentions; it puts envelope 2 previously closed in envelope No. 3, which it addresses to the presidency of the national commission, exclusively by post.
