SENATE CALENDAR NUMBER 486
Summary
The bill requires every candidate for presidential elector to sign a written pledge promising to cast their Electoral College ballot for the party’s presidential and vice‑presidential nominees (or the listed write‑in candidate). The Secretary of State would reject any ballot that does not match the pledge, and an elector who refuses to comply would lose the position, triggering a replacement process. The measure aims to eliminate faithless electors by binding them legally to the candidate they were pledged to support.
