every year, select by a majority of votes three of the puisne 44 & 45 Vict.
judges of such division (none of whom shall be a member of the
House of Lords) to be placed on the rota for the trial of election
petitions during the ensuing year.

If in any case the judges of the said division present at the
time of their meeting to make such selection are equally divided
in their choice of any judge to be placed on the rota, the Lord
Chief Justice of England, or, in case of his absence, the senior
judge then present shall have a second or casting vote.

The choice of a judge to fill any occasional vacancy upon the
rota, or to assist the judge on the rota as an additional judge,
shall be made in like manner.

This provision now takes the place of s. 11, subs. 2 & 3, of the Election
Petitions Act, 1868 (p. 525).
