Once the round of consultations has been held, the plenary session for the presentation of the candidates’ government programmes and the request for confidence in the vote of candidacies will be called within a maximum of 15 days.

Thereafter, with a pause of no less than 24 hours, the replies of the parliamentary groups will take place, followed by the vote. If the candidate does not obtain an absolute majority during the vote, a second round of voting will take place after 48 hours. In this second round, only a simple majority would be necessary to be invested, and it would be up to the President of the Parliament to inform the King of the name of the elected candidate within the following 24 hours. In this way, the presidency of the Government of the Balearic Islands would be appointed.
