Election Law - Presidential Electors - Selection and Voting

Summary

The bill changes the nomination process so each party or unaffiliated presidential candidate must submit two qualified names—a primary elector and an alternate—with a pledge to vote for their party’s ticket. It also requires the State Administrator of Elections to preside over the electors’ meeting and creates a detailed procedure for filling any vacancies and issuing an amended certificate of ascertainment. These changes affect political parties, unaffiliated candidates, the State Administrator, the governor, and the electors themselves, aiming to ensure a clear and continuous Electoral College vote.
