8(4)

8(4)(a) The Chairperson of the Corporation shall, at a meeting of the Corporation at which it is proposed to elect members of the Standing Committee under clause (d) of sub-rule (3), invite members to propose names from among members of the Corporation belonging to the group from which election is to be held and the names proposed shall be duly seconded by another member of the Corporation.

8(4)(b) If the number proposed from any group for election does not exceed the number of vacancies to be filled therefrom, the persons whose names have been so proposed shall be declared elected to the Standing Committee.

8(4)(c) If the number proposed from a group for election exceeds the number of vacancies to be filled there from, each member of the Corporation present at the meeting shall be given a secret ballot paper containing the names of all the candidates proposed and he shall be required to vote thereon for as many candidates from the group as there are vacancies to be filled up, with one vote in favour of any one candidate and if any member votes for more candidates than there are vacancies in the group or gives more than one vote in favour of any one candidate, all his votes shall be deemed to be invalid.

8(4)(d) The persons getting the highest number of votes shall be declared by the Chairperson at the meeting or as soon thereafter as possible as duly elected to the Standing Committee: Provided that where an equality of votes is found to exist between any candidates and the addition of one vote will entitle any of the candidates to be declared to be elected, the determination of the person or persons to whom such one additional vote shall be deemed to have been given shall be made by lot to be drawn in the presence of the Chairperson and in such manner as he may determine.

8(4)(e) If any question arises as to the validity of any election, it shall be referred to the Central Government whose decision in the matter shall be final.
