Likewise, the physical presence of the President or representative of each Bloc must be ensured at the time of holding the session.
 
In the event that a councilor present during the course of the debate is absent during the voting due to technical problems, they may leave a record of their vote before the Presidency of the Deliberative Council, by submitting a signed note from said councilor within 24 hours of the end of the session, which shall not modify the result of the vote".

When two consecutive ordinary sessions have failed, the Body may hold a session with one third of its members, in accordance with Article 88º of the Organic Law of Municipalities No. 10,027.-
