- The right to elect a socius to a prior going to a provincial chapter belongs only to those convents which, for six months before the chapter, have eight voters, unless during the year the aforesaid number has been diminished by the death of a brother (see Appendix, no. 26).
- Convents, however, that have at least sixteen voters have the right to elect two socii, three if they have twenty-four voters, and four if they have more than thirty-two.
- The brothers in a convent which does not have a sufficient number of voters to elect a socius to the prior going to a provincial chapter shall be joined to a college for electing
