Process to elect the president of the Confederate States of America From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The 1861 Confederate States presidential election of November 6, 1861, was the only presidential election held under the Permanent Constitution of the Confederate States of America. Jefferson Davis, who had been elected president and Alexander H. Stephens, who had been elected vice president, under the Provisional Constitution, were elected to six-year terms that would have lasted from February 22, 1862 until February 22, 1868. In fact, both Davis and Stephens' offices were abolished on May 5, 1865 when the Confederate government dissolved.[citation needed]
