The candidates who obtain the most votes occupy the first places, but once the maximum number of candidates of the same sex has been met, the candidate of the opposite sex who is required to meet the minimum quota continues. The final list is ordered sequentially as follows: a woman, a man or a man, a woman. Candidates who for any reason cannot make up the final list must be replaced by another candidate of the same sex, so that parity and alternation are ensured. (2) The criterion of gender parity and alternation must also be verified on the total number of candidates presented by each political organization. (3) (Article 116, Election Law)
