314.2. During the period commencing at 4:30 in the afternoon twenty-three days before polling day in a regular election and ending when the majority of the candidates elected to the office of councillor for seats open for nominations at that election have made the oath of office, the council shall not sit unless a fortuitous event necessitating its intervention occurs. Deliberations during such a sitting shall pertain only to such event.
If the majority of the candidates elected to the office of councillor for seats open for nominations at the election have not made the oath of office before the thirty-fifth day following polling day, the provisions of the first paragraph cease to apply from the beginning of that day.
