"Chapter 227, Acts of 1922, provided for quadrennial elections. The governor elected in November 1923 held office for three years.
Beginning with the election held on the first Tuesday after the first Monday in November 1926, elections were held in the even-
numbered years which were not presidential election years.

"Governor O'Conor resigned on January 3, 1947, to accept a seat in the United States Senate. William Preston Lane, Jr., was elected
by the Legislature on January 3 of that year to complete the unexpired term. Governor Lane was inaugurated on January 3 for the
remainder of Governor O'Conor's term and on January 8, 1947, for the full four-year term.
"Chapter 109, Acts of 1947, established a two-term limit for each governor.
"Chapter 161, Acts of 1964, changed the date of the beginning of the governor's term to the fourth Wednesday in January following
his election.

"Governor Agnew, having been elected vice president of the United States at the general election of November 5, 1968, resigned on
January 7, 1969. Marvin Mandel was elected on the same day to fill the balance of Governor Agnew's term, which expired in
January 1971. Governor Mandel was subsequently elected to a full four-year term on November 3, 1970.
"Chapter 576, Acts of 1970, changed the date of the beginning of the governor's term to the third Wednesday in January following
his election. By letter dated June 4, 1977, Governor Mandel notified Lieutenant Governor Blair Lee III that Lee would serve as
acting governor until further notice according to the terms of Article 2, Section 6b, of the Maryland Constitution. Lee continued to
act in the capacity of acting governor until January 15, 1979, when Mandel rescinded his letter of June 4, 1977, two days before the
expiration of his second full elective term. Governor Mandel designated Lee acting governor again for a brief period on January 16 to
permit Lee to preside at the installation of Rita C. Davidson to the Court of Appeals.
