Joint resolution to provide for a Joint Assembly to receive the report of the committee appointed to canvass votes for state officers

This joint resolution establishes a special meeting of both legislative chambers to receive official vote-counting reports for key state positions. The bill directs the Senate and House to convene on January 5, 2023, to review findings from the Joint Canvassing Committee regarding elections for Governor, Lieutenant Governor, State Treasurer, Secretary of State, Auditor of Accounts, and Attorney General. If the committee determines that no candidate was elected for any of these offices, the legislature will immediately proceed to fill those vacancies by election. This procedural measure ensures a formal process for handling election results and potential vacancies without changing election laws or candidate eligibility.
