Only during a state of emergency can the Voorman bypass then two-stage procedure of policy ratification. Additionally, the Voormann can veto any proposal put forward by any member of the Concatenated Council.

A Voormann is elected by the Concatenated Council every eight years. An Untervoormann is also elected at this time.
