Greece’s crucial Presidency vote: what’s the procedure?

According to the rules of Presidency vote, the procedure opens with the Parliament Speaker reading the statute, the votes-collectors take their places and the voting starts.

Each MP who hears his name stands up and expresses his preference. Each vote is being noted down.

No debate takes place, and no MP has the right to justify his/her vote.

The voting procedure lasts 40 minutes.
