- The right of appointing a prior provincial devolves upon the Master of the Order:
- when the electors on the day designated for the election neither elect nor postulate but hold seven inconclusive ballots;
- when, for any reason whatsoever, a province has been without a legitimate prior provincial for six months.
- After the third time an election is confirmed but not accepted, the Master of the Order may appoint a prior provincial, and after a fourth time he must.
