of the State or any proposed incorporation of a town, upon
any law passed at any session of the General Assembly of the
State, whether regular or extraordinary, and whether the
Referendum vote is taken as the result of a petition under

the remaining certificate shall be retained by the Secretary of
State until the adjournment of the next succeeding session of
