Draft:2024 South African presidential election (2)

Procedure for Electing the President
1. The Chief Justice or presiding judge will call for nominations for the President.

2. Nominations must be submitted on a prescribed form, signed by two MPs and the nominee (unless they've given prior consent).

3. The presiding officer will announce the nominated candidates, and no debate will be allowed.

4. If only one candidate is nominated, they will be declared the winner.

5. If multiple candidates are nominated, a secret ballot vote will be held. The candidate with the majority of votes will be declared the winner.

6. If no candidate receives a majority, the candidate with the fewest votes will be eliminated, and another ballot will be held until a winner is determined.

7. If only two candidates remain and there's a tie, a further meeting will be held within seven days to re-vote.

8. The Chief Justice will make rules for the election procedure, including the duties of the presiding officer and the conduct of the ballot.
