Rule 22: Election of the Chair of Chairs

Rule 22 governs how the Council elects its Chair of Chairs. The passage shows the Speaker must call for nominations by sending nomination forms to the political parties' Whips as soon as possible after an election, or within 10 days if the post becomes vacant, and parties may then submit nominations. The passage is cut off, so the rest of the procedure (such as how the vote is conducted) is unclear.
