§ 5: The Senators shall be chosen for two years, at the same time, and in the same manner, as the Representatives are required to be chosen. At the first session of the Legislature, under this constitution, they shall be divided by lot from their respective districts, as nearly as may be, into two equal classes; the seats of the Senators of the first class shall be vacated at the expiration of the first year, and of the second class at the expiration of the second year, so that one-half thereof, as nearly as may be, shall be chosen annually thereafter.
Art 5, § 3: The Governor and Lieutenant Governor shall be elected by the electors at the times and places of choosing members of the Legislature. The persons having the highest number of votes for Governor and Lieutenant-Governor shall be elected; but in case two or more have an equal and the highest number of votes for Governor or Lieutenant-Governor, the Legislature shall, by joint vote, choose one of the said persons so having an equal and the highest number of votes, for Governor or Lieutenant-Governor.
