29 Method of counting votes for more than 1 vacancy
(1) If there is more than 1 person to be elected, the method of counting votes is to be the “first past the post” method, that is, the candidates with the most votes are taken to be elected.
(2) If the number of candidates to be elected cannot be determined because of an equality of votes, the candidate taken to be elected is the candidate whose name is drawn by lot from a receptacle containing the names of each of the candidates having equal votes.
