SEC. II. The purpose of this Article is to reduce the
number of elections, by providing that all State and county
elections shall be held only in every fourth year, and at the
time now provided by law for holding congressional elec-
tions ; and to bring the terms of appointive officers into har-
mony with the changes effected in the time of the begin-
ning of the terms of elective officers; and the administra-
tive and judicial officers of the State shall construe the
provisions of this Article so as to effectuate that purpose.
For the purpose of this Article only the word "officers"
shall be construed to include those holding positions and
other places of employment in the State and county gov-
ernments whose terms are fixed by law, but it shall not
include any appointments made by the Board of Public
Works, nor appointments by the Governor for terms of
three years.

stitution", or "Against the Constitution", as the voter may
elect; and the provisions of the Laws of this State, relating
to the holding of general elections for members of the House
of Delegates, shall, in all respects, apply to, and regulate the
I Repealed by Chapter 99, Acts of 1966, ratified November 6, 1956.
