Allocation of mandates as a Member of Parliament (1) Mandates as a Member of Parliament shall be assigned by the Central Electoral Commission to their electoral competitors in the order in which they are included in the lists. (2) Candidates included in the lists of electoral competitors who have passed the representation ceiling laid down in Article 122 but have not been elected shall be declared alternates. The alternate candidate shall be declared elected by the Constitutional Court upon referral to the Central Electoral Commission if, for certain reasons, a mandate as a Member of Parliament pertaining to the political party or electoral block he/she represents becomes vacant. The alternate candidate may refuse the mandate of a Member by submitting a written statement to the Central Electoral Commission. (3) If a political party or electoral bloc obtains a number of mandates as a Member higher than the number of candidates included in the list, that political party or electoral block shall be distributed a number of mandates equal to the number of candidates on the list. (4) The remaining mandates of Member shall be redistributed to the other political parties or electoral blocks as laid down in Article 123 (1). The same shall apply for the subsequent vacancy for the mandate of Member, if the electoral competitor has no alternate candidates or if the mandate as a Member obtained by an independent candidate becomes vacant.
