The elder must be appointed by the wt society. He must have been recommended by the current body of elders. The recommendation goes to the circuit overseer. If accepted a letter is sent to the society. Once the society approves the recommendation a letter is seht to the congregation and the appointment is announced.
I doubt that you will see this now, but my ex-brother-inlaw was appointed as an elder in the spanish congregation when he was 19 years old. This was in the 70s and an island country.
