b) Communes not falling under the provisions of Point a of this Clause with 10,000 or less members can elect 15 delegates; those with more than 10,000 members to 20,000 members can elect 01 delegate for every 2,000 additional members; those with more than 20,000 members can elect 01 delegate for every 6,000 members, but the total number cannot exceed 30 delegates;
