Canon 949

1. Once the convocation has taken place according to the

Canons, those present on the day and in the place designated in

the convocation have the right to vote; the faculty of voting by

mail or by proxy is excluded, unless the law provides otherwise.

2. If one of the electors is present in the house in which the

election takes place but cannot be present for the election because of ill health, his or her written ballot is to be obtained

by the tellers.
