Overview
Asserts the members of the Legislature's reaffirmation of the plenary power with respect to

History
The United States Constitution specifies that the manner, times and places of holding elections
for senators and representatives must be prescribed in each state by the legislature. It also
stipulates that Congress may at any time by law make or alter such regulations, except for the
places of choosing senators (U.S. Constitution Art. 1, § 4).
Provisions
1. Declares that the members of the Legislature:
a) Reaffirm the Legislature's plenary power relating to elections; and
b) Oppose any attempt by the federal government to usurp or otherwise interfere with the
state legislative sovereign authority over the control, management and administration of
elections.
