Article 122

The electoral system and cases of ineligibility and incompatibility of the President, the other members of the Regional Board and the Regional councillors shall be regulated by a regional law within the limits of the fundamental principles established by a law of the Republic, which shall also determine the terms of office of elected organs. No one may belong at the same time to a Regional Council or a Regional Board and to one of the Houses of Parliament, to another Regional Council or another Regional Board, or to the European Parliament. The Council shall elect a President and a Bureau from among its members. Regional councillors shall not be held liable for opinions expressed or votes cast in the discharge of their duties. The President of the Regional Board shall be elected by universal and direct suffrage, unless the regional statute provides otherwise. The elected President shall have the power to appoint and revoke the members of the Regional Board.
