§ 1-11-106 — Delivery of certified list of results

Upon the organization of the
house of representatives, the secretary of state shall deliver to the speaker of the
house a certified list of candidates elected to each state office and of each member
elected to the general assembly showing the member's district. If the secretary of
state is unable to certify the candidate elected to state office or the member
elected to the general assembly from a particular district, the secretary of state
shall also deliver a list of the state offices or districts for which no certification may
be made. The speaker, upon receipt of the certified list and, if delivered, the list of
offices and districts for which no certification may be made and before proceeding
to other business, shall open and announce the results in the presence of a majority
of the members of both houses of the general assembly, who shall assemble for
that purpose in the chamber of the house of representatives. The person having the
highest number of votes for any of the offices shall be declared duly elected by the
presiding officer of the joint assembly.
