Sec. 27. Elections by council.

At all elections by the Council the voting shall be viva voce,
and each member shall be entitled to one vote, and only one
person shall be elected at a time. 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. (Constitution,
Sec. 27.)

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.
