Section 15
SEC. 15. Qualifications, election, suspension and removal of members of Board.—The members of the Municipal Board shall be elected at large from the entire city, and each of them at the time of his election shall be a resident for at least one year and a qualified elector of the city and not less than twenty-three years of age. Such members may be suspended or removed from office under the same circumstances, in the same manner, and with the same effect, as elective provincial officers, and the provisions of law relating to the suspension or removal of elective provincial officers are made effective for the suspension or removal of said members of the Board. In so far as they are applicable all the provisions of the Election Law are made effective as to members of the Board and to their election, to the same extent as if the City of Iloilo were a province, and the election of said members were the election for members of the provincial board. A plurality shall be sufficient for election and any tie shall be decided by lot by the municipal board of canvassers. The first election under this Charter shall take place on the date of the general elections, immediately after the approval of this Act.
