Extract

Perhaps the most important of the occasional duties of the Department of State is that which involves its agency in recording the result of the quadrennial elections held in the several States for the office of President and Vice-President of the United States. Section 1 of Article II of the Constitution provided that the electors should meet in the several States, and, having voted for a President and Vice-President, should make a list of the persons voted for, which they must sign and certify to and transmit sealed to the seat of government directed to the President of the Senate.
