Bill > JRS002

This joint resolution establishes a procedure for a Joint Assembly (a meeting of both the Senate and House of Representatives) to be held on Thursday, January 9, 2025, at 10:00 AM, with the primary purpose of receiving the report from the Joint Canvassing Committee, which is responsible for officially counting and verifying the votes for key state officers, including the Governor, Lieutenant Governor, State Treasurer, Secretary of State, Auditor of Accounts, and Attorney General. If the Committee determines that no candidate has been elected to any of these positions through the regular voting process, the Joint Assembly will immediately proceed to elect those unselected state officers. This type of resolution is a formal procedural mechanism to ensure transparency and continuity in the state's electoral process, providing a structured approach to resolving potential electoral uncertainties.
