Senate Bill No. 576—Vacancies in Office of Representative in

Congress

AN ACT to repeal and re-enact, with amendments, Section 22-1
(b) (5) of Article 33 of the Annotated Code of Maryland, as last
amended by Chapter 2 of the Acts of 1971, title "Election Code," sub-
title "House of Representatives," providing for elections to fill
vacancies in the office of Representative in Congress and generally
relating thereto.

May 28, 1971.

Honorable William S. James
President of the Senate
State House
Annapolis, Maryland 21404

Dear Mr. President:

In accordance with Article II, Section 17, of the Maryland Con-
stitution, I have today vetoed Senate Bill 576.

This bill amends the Election Code relating to the filling of vacan-
cies in the office of Representative in Congress.

The Attorney General, while not disapproving the bill for con-
stitutionality, has advised me that the bill is "incomplete and that a
carrying out of its principles could result in severe voter confusion
and administrative chaos." A copy of the Attorney General's opinion
is attached herewith and is to be considered a part of this message.

In light of the foregoing, I have decided to veto Senate Bill 576.

Sincerely,
/s/ Marvin Mandel,

Governor.
