Parliament is given time to debate the nomination in public. Usually, after fifteen minutes, the President of the Senate will order the doors shut and a thirty-minute voting will begin. The vote is done by {{wp|secret ballot}} and the votes of individual members cannot be disclosed. After thirty minutes, the President of the Senate will tally up the votes and declare if the candidate has accumulated enough votes to become President. If the candidate has received enough votes, the President of the Senate orders the doors open and begins the inauguration. If the person does not have enough votes, individual members will nominate candidates.
