Official sourceArticle 5
Sovereignty belongs to the People, source of all power, who exercise it by their representatives
elected by universal direct or indirect suffrage, or by way of referendum. No faction of the People,
and no individual may arrogate the exercise of the sovereignty.
The organization and the administration of all the electoral operations arise within the competence of
an independent national structure.
The law organizes the modalities of functioning of that structure.
All nationals of the two sexes enjoying the exercise of their civil and political rights are electors within
the conditions determined by the law. The quality of being elector is lost only by a decision of justice
becoming definitive.
