En cuanto a la votación de los Consejeros asistentes a la sesión de ratificación que concluye con un empate y que después de volver a votar, éste persiste, se considera al evaluado como no ratificado, es menester establecer que tal disposición es producto exclusivo de la aplicación del artículo 30, [...] que exige para que haya ratificación, el voto de la mayoría simple de los miembros asistentes a la sesión. Ello conlleva necesariamente que se deba alcanzar obligadamente una mayoría, en cualquiera de los casos. [...] Con ello habrá la posibilidad de romper el empate, pues éste no puede producirse en una sesión en la que los asistentes sean número impar. 2, record 1, Spanish, - voto%20por%20mayor%C3%ADa%20simple
