Delegates shall be chosen by each member unit of government provided that a least one of the delegates from each member unit of government shall be an elected official and therefore at least one-half of the delegates to the General Assembly shall be local elected officials. Delegates shall serve continuously until their successors have been selected by their member unit of government.
