Sec. 50. Voting at elections.

At all elections by the council the voting shall be viva voce, and
each member shall be entitled to one vote. Only one person shall
be elected at a time, except with the consent of all members present.
If, on any vote, no one receives a majority of all the votes,
the name of the person receiving the smallest number of votes shall
be dropped, and shall not again be put in nomination until a vote
intervenes.

At each election the roll shall be called by the clerk in alphabetical
order, and each member shall vote when his name is called,
unless excused or disqualified by section 51 of this chapter. (Id.,
§ 4.)
