H 727 Massachusetts House · 193rd Legislature (2023-2024)

An Act relative to how Electoral College votes are delegated

This bill modifies Massachusetts law to change how presidential electors are selected and how they cast their votes. It requires that one elector be chosen from each congressional district while two are chosen at-large, rather than using a single statewide winner-take-all method. Under the new rules, each district elector would vote for the presidential and vice-presidential candidates who won the most votes in that specific district, while the at-large electors would vote for the statewide winners. The legislation also updates the procedures for electors to meet, organize, and record their ballots.
