The President of the Republic, considering that the mode of election promulgated by the decree of the second of December had been adopted under other circumstances as guaranteeing the sincerity of election; but considering that the secret ballot actually carried out appears to guarantee better the independence of the votes; considering that the essential object of the decree of the second of December is to obtain the sincere and free expression of the will of the people, decrees:
Articles 2, 3 and 4 of the decree of the second of December are modified as follows:
