The principles currently followed by the bureau and the CIPM in making elections are the following:
Persons proposed for election are always of a high standing in their country and have experience qualifying them to take part in the work of the CIPM.
One member of the CIPM is always of French nationality. This recognizes the role of France as the originator of the metric system and depository of the Metre Convention.
One member comes from each State paying the maximum contribution.
One member is generally expected to come from each State paying a contribution of 2 % or above.
Efforts are made to maintain a reasonable balance between regions and also to ensure the presence of a small number of members from those States paying the minimum contribution.
Candidates from Member States three of more years in arrears with their payments to the CIPM are not considered for election.
