§ § 74Registration of additional mandates

(1) Where a Member of the European Parliament to be substituted stood as an independent candidate or where there were no more candidates in the same list, the alternate member designated on the basis of an additional mandate which is distributed among the lists and independent candidates and registered with the National Electoral Committee becomes a Member of the European Parliament.
(2) The table of comparative figures of political parties and independent candidates which is approved by a resolution of the National Electoral Committee is the basis for the distribution of additional mandates.
(3) The table of comparative figures sets out the comparative figures calculated for political parties and independent candidates (subsection 1 of § 61) in size order, starting from the comparative figure which was the first not to be taken into account upon distribution of mandates.
(4) Where at least two comparative figures are equal, the comparative figure of the political party or independent candidate which received more votes from voters receives a higher ranking. Where the number of votes of independent candidates or political parties is equal, the independent candidate or political party who was further towards the bottom of the consolidated list of candidates receives a higher ranking.
