A state's governor must certify a newly elected Senator's election. The governor does this using the state's official seal. The governor sends this certification to the President of the U.S. Senate.
This section spells out a duty for state governors after a Senate election.
When a state chooses someone to be a U.S. Senator, the governor of that state — called the "executive of the State" in this law — has a job to do. The governor must certify that the election happened.
This certification must carry the state's official seal, which proves it is an authentic government document.
The governor then sends this certified document to the President of the Senate of the United States. That is the official who receives proof of each new Senator's election.
