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 the Electoral College meets and how they send their official vote certificates. It moves the meeting date to the Tuesday after the second Wednesday in December and requires the state to send vote documents using the fastest available method rather than just registered mail. The law also specifies exactly where copies of the certificates must be sent, including to the President, the state board, the national archivist, and a federal court judge. Additionally, it clarifies that electors must vote for the presidential and vice presidential candidates nominated by their own political party. These changes align the state's procedures with federal requirements for conducting the presidential election.
