- When elections to be held, § 21-2-9.
Responsibilities of General Assembly in installation of Governor, § 45-12-1.
- The Attorney General has the authority under state law to appeal a court decision invalidating a state redistricting statute despite the Governor's order to dismiss the appeal. Because there is constitutional authority for the General Assembly to vest the Attorney General with specific duties and a state statute vested the Attorney General with the authority to litigate in the voting rights action, the Attorney General had the power to seek a final determination on the validity of the State Senate redistricting statute under the federal Voting Rights Act (now 52 U.S.C. § 10301).
