The appointment or dismissal requires the support of one third of the council deputies, the regional executive committee chairman, and local voters. The decisions regarding these appointments or dismissals must be published in the "Vitebsk Workers" and "Narodnae Slova" newspapers. The decisions take effect upon publication.
