Resolved, That the qualifications of the Electors be the same with those now established by law, for the choice of representatives to the General Assembly.

Resolved, That the elections for Delegates as aforesaid be held at the several places appointed by law for holding the elections for Delegates to the General Assembly, and that the same be conducted by the officers who conduct the elections for Delegates, and conformably to the rules and regulations thereof.

Resolved, That the election for Delegates be held in the month of March next, on the first day of the court to be held for each county, city, or corporation respectively, and that the persons so chosen shall assemble at the state—house in the city of Richmond on the first Monday in June next.

Resolved, That two thousand copies of these resolutions be forthwith printed, and dispersed by the members of the General Assembly among their constitutents, and that the Executive transmit a copy of them to Congress, and to the Legislatures and Executives of the respective states.
