The office of Secretary of State was created by
constitutional amendment in 1838 to replace the
Governor's Council (Chapter 197, Acts of 1836,
Chapter 84, Acts of 1837). Appointed by the Gov-
ernor and confirmed by the Senate, the Secretary
of State attests to the Governor's signature on
public papers and documents (Const., Art. II). The
office is the repository for all executive orders and

proclamations and is responsible for their distribu-
tion (Code State Government Article, secs. 3-404,
3-405). The Secretary of State maintains records of
all commissions issued and appointments made by
the Governor.
With regard to elections, the Secretary of State
receives petitions to bring Acts of the General
Assembly to referendum, and publishes them to-
gether with constitutional amendments to be voted
upon in the general elections (Code 1957, Art 33,
sec. 23-9). The Secretary also may place upon the
presidential primary ballot the names of those can-
didates determined to be advocated generally or
recognized in the media (Code 1957, Art. 33, sec.
12-6). Bills adopted by the General Assembly and
approved by the Governor are received and as-
signed chapter numbers by the Secretary (Code
State Government Article, sec. 2-1511). The Sec-
retary also advertises and records all the Governor's
pardons and commutations.
Every two years the Secretary of State, with the
State Archives, participates in the distribution of the
Maryland Manual (Code State Government Article,
sec. 9-1027).
Under the Secretary of State are three main units:
Administrative Services, Community and Govern-
mental Affairs, and State Documents. The office also
is concerned with certifications and disclosures, extra-
ditions, and special police and railroad police.

Regulation Article, secs. 6-101 through 6-701).
Under the Division, the Charitable Giving Infor-
mation Program provides the public with access to
information about charities so that they may give
wisely. The Division also regulates raffles of real
property by charitable organizations.
