2.4 Election of President and Vice-President

The President (the Head of State — the republic's ceremonial-and-constitutional apex): elected by the electoral college of the federal parliament (both houses) + the provincial assemblies (the weighted votes: the federal member's and the provincial member's vote-values equalised by the constitutional formula); the secret ballot; the absolute-majority requirement (the runoff between the top two if no majority); the qualifications (the citizen by descent, 45 years, eligible for the HoR; the two-term limit). The Vice-President: the same college-and- method (the separate election); the same qualifications; the succession-and-deputation functions. The process's home: the Presidential and Vice-Presidential Election Act — the programme, the nominations (the proposers' signatures), the polling at the parliament house, the counting-and- declaration, the disputes' route (the Supreme Court's election-dispute jurisdiction for the presidential election).
