CONSTITUTION OF DISTRICT COUNCILS


(1) If during the trial of an election petition it appears
that there is equality of votes between any candidates at the election and that the addition of a vote would
entitle any of those candidates to be declared elected, then, the court of the District Judge shall decide
between them by lot and proceed as if the one on whom the lot falls had received an additional vote.
