The election procedure in the GA for the delegated representatives of three Countries to the IC is:

The GA calls for nominations to fill the position vacant through rotation from interested Countries and makes a list of these Countries in an alphabetic order.

Only Participating Countries are eligible for nomination

Only voting members of the GA (ie Participating Countries) may nominate and vote.

Countries already represented on the IC must be excluded from this list.

The incumbent standing down may be re-nominated if available.

The maximum number of vacancies is one.

The period over which a Country is delegated to the IC is three years.

In the first vote each Country present votes for that Country from the alphabetic list which they wish to see delegated to the IC.

The first vote makes up a list of Countries in order of preference - the Country with highest votes being listed first.

In the event that two or more nominated Countries secure the same number of votes, then only these Countries with be subjected to the second vote.

In the second vote each Country present votes for that Country from the tied alphabetic list which they wish to see delegated to the IC.

In the event of a further tie in votes between two or more Counties, then in terms of Statutes S4.10, the President of the GA shall cast the deciding vote.

The election procedure is finished when the chosen Country accepts their appointment to the IC.

The voting is by secret ballot.
