Upon the demand of any of the members of the council the second vote shall be postponed to another meeting, which shall take place on the weekday following the day of the first meeting. (3) The candidate who at the second or any subsequent vote has received more than half of the votes of the members of the council who took part in the voting (hereinafter in this subsection: "majority") is elected.

( 4 ) I f no candidate has received a majority at the second vote, a third vote shall be taken.

( 5 ) I f no candidate has received a majority at the third ! vote, a fourth vote shall be taken; upon the demand of any of the members of the council the fourth vote shall be postponed to another meeting, which shall be held on the weekday following the day on which the third vote took place. ' At the fourth vote, only those candidates shall• stand for election who stood for election at the third vote.

( 6 ) I f no candidate has received a majority at the fourth vote, voting shall continue Until one can-

( 7 ) Any drawing of lots under this section shall be held on the spot by the' chairman of the meeting ; if at the meeting which preceded the vote the chairman was himself a candidate for the mayoralty, the drawing of lots shall be held by a member of the council to be appointed by the council in that behalf.

(d) Until a mayor is elected under this section, there shall officiate as mayor the person who held that 'office on the election date (if that person has been elected to the new council) or (if that person has not been elected) •the person whom the Minister of the Interior shall appoint in that behalf.
