It is my duty to inform the House that a second ballot will be necessary.
The following members are eligible for the second ballot:
Gallaway, Roger Lincoln, Clifford Nunziata, John Parent, Gilbert
If any member whose name I have just read wishes to withdraw as a candidate for the second ballot, will that member please rise in his place and state the reason? The names just announced are on the second ballot. In a few minutes the Clerk will be able to provide that list. At that moment the voting will commence.
While the Clerk is unsealing the ballots, the Chair would like to indicate that the second ballot will be of a different colour and that the list of names of candidates on this ballot has been placed in each polling station.
I would also like to point out that the polling booths are now open.
The polling booths are now open.
(Members were issued ballots and marked their ballots in secret at voting stations)
