Art. II
Quae pro electione prioris regionalis statuta sunt in nn. 477-481, mutatis mutandis, valent etiam pro electione vicarii pro-vincialis (cf. n. 389).
Quando vicarius provincialis a priore provinciali instituendus est, audiantur prius fratres qui iuxta n. 478 vocem activam in electione haberent (cf. appendicem n. 24).
I. The consultation of the voters shall be done by means of a letter which each of them shall send to the prior provincial, containing three names in order of preference.
II. The prior provincial shall appoint as vicar provincial one of the three who received the greater number of votes, unless he judges it to be more conducive to the Order’s good to appoint another brother.
