summoned for one and the same day. The King, or, if the election of
a successor to the Throne occur when the Throne is vacant, the
lawful interim Government of both kingdoms, shall, within eight days
after the date when the Storthing in Norway has been lawfully
opened and the Riksdag in Sweden has been opened in the Rikssal,
on the same day in both places make a proposal anent the succession
to the Throne.
Members of the Norwegian Storthing as well as members of the
Swedish Riksdag shall have the right to propose a successor to the
Throne. If any of them desires to exercise this his right of motion,
he shall be bound to avail himself of it within this appointed time.
The Norwegian Storthing and the Estates of the Kingdom of
Sweden shall thereafter appoint the day of election, each body for
itself; but the election of a successor to the Throne must take place
without fail not later than the twelfth day after the term appointed
for the making of the proposal.
