4. if there is a tie between two or more candidates in the least voted position, a tiebreak vote between them will be held, counting the number of relative first positions for each, from which the least voted candidate is removed;

5. if a tie still remains between two or more candidates in the least voted position, but the number of those candidates has been reduced in relation to the previous vote, a further tiebreak vote shall be held only between candidates tied for the least voted position, counting the number of relative first positions for each, from which the least voted candidate is removed;

6. if the tie still remains between two or more candidates in the least voted position, without reducing the number of candidates tied in the least voted position in relation to the previous voting round, the decision will be made by the quality vote of the President of the Selection Committee or by a casting vote, according to the situation. The candidate voted by the President of the Selection Committee will be included in the following voting round for the same place;

7. if there is a tie when only two or more candidates remain for the first place, the tiebreaker is made through the casting vote of the President of the Selection Committee or by the exercise of the tiebreaker vote, according to the situation;
