No such identification or designation of either of the offices shall refer to or be taken to refer to the terms of such offices, or in any way impair the privilege of the Senate to determine the class to which each of the Senators elected shall be assigned. The proclamation of the Mayor issued under subsection
(a)shall provide for the holding of a primary election and a general election and at such elections the officers required to be elected as provided in subsection
(a)shall be chosen by the qualified electors of the District of Columbia in the manner required by law. Election returns shall be made and certified in the manner required by law, except that the Mayor shall also certify the results of such elections to the President of the United States. Upon the admission of the State into the Union, the Senators and Representative elected at the election described in subsection
