1865 to 1868. In 1970, the office was reestablished by a Constitutional amendment ratified by the people,
November 3, 1970 (Chapter 532, Acts of 1970). The second-ranking officer of the Stare, the Lieutenant
Governor is elected for a term of four years by popular vote at the same election at which the Governor
is elected. The Lieutenant Governor's term of office begins on the third Wednesday in January following
election. Eligibility requirements for Lieutenant Governor are the same as those for the Governor. The
Lieutenant Governor performs duties delegated by the Governor (Const., Art. II, sees. 1, 1A, 2).
The Lieutenant Governor succeeds to the office of Governor in the event of a vacancy in that office.
The Lieutenant Governor also serves as Acting Governor when notified in writing by the Governor that
the Governor will be temporarily unable to perform the duties of office (Const., Art. II, sees. 4, 5, 6).
