A 9409 New York Assembly · 2023 Regular Session

Moves the date of the meeting of the electors and the method for the transmission of the certificates of vote

This bill updates state election laws to change when electors meet and how they send their official vote certificates to federal authorities. It moves the electors' meeting date to the Tuesday after the second Wednesday in December and requires the state to transmit vote certificates using the fastest available method instead of registered mail. The legislation also mandates that electors vote only for the presidential and vice-presidential candidates nominated by their own political party, treating any deviation as a resignation from office. Additionally, it specifies that the state must send multiple copies of the vote certificates to the U.S. Senate, the state board of elections, the U.S. Archivist, and a federal district court judge. These changes align the state's electoral procedures more closely with federal requirements and clarify the process for certifying election results.
