Canon 953

1. A person is ineligible to vote: (1) who is incapable of

placing a human act; (2) who lacks active voice; (3) who has

publicly rejected the Catholic faith, or has publicly defected

from communion with the Catholic Church. 2. If one of the

above has been admitted, the vote is null but the election is

valid, unless it is clear that by subtracting that vote the

person elected did not receive the required number of votes.
