Delegations may nominate one candidate
to run for an office in this category.
Nomination forms due 9/29/06.
Lt. Governor and Speaker candidates compete
in a statewide primary at T&E I, and are elected at T&E II.
President and Speaker pro-Tempore are elected
statewide at T&E I. |
Officers in this category are the
presiding officers of the Model Legislature. Because of the dual house
system (two Senates, two Assemblies), the President pro-Tempore and
Speaker pro-Tempore have largely identical duties to the Lt. Governor
and Speaker. However, some important differences in the job qualifications
and duties do exist, and they are outlined below.
