Results of unrestricted elections. When elections are unrestricted, the candidates receiving the most votes as regular council members shall be the duly elected regular councillors. If two or more candidates receive an equal number of votes and not both or not all of them can be elected, the election shall be determined by lot. Where elections are unrestricted, the alternates shall be equal in number to the regular councillors. Alternates shall be selected by number of votes as follows: The first alternate shall be the person receiving the most votes for the first position on the list of alternates in addition to the votes he or she received for the seat of a regular member. The second alternate shall be the person receiving the most votes for the second position on the list of alternates in addition to the votes he or she received for the seat of a regular member and for first position on the list of alternates. The election of other alternates shall be determined in the same manner until the seats of all members to be elected are filled. Should two candidates receive an equal number of votes for an alternate’s seat, which of them is to be elected shall be determined by lot. The one not selected shall take the seat of the next alternate, with the alternates below them thereby moving by one position.
