S 161 Vermont Senate · 2023-2024 Regular Session

An act relating to the meeting of presidential electors

This bill modifies Vermont law to change the date when presidential electors meet to cast their votes for President and Vice President. It directly affects the state's electoral process by updating the timing of elector meetings in accordance with the federal Electoral Count Reform Act. The key provision amends Vermont Statutes to specify that electors must meet on the first Monday or Tuesday after the second Wednesday in December following their election. The change takes effect immediately upon passage and aims to align state procedures with updated federal election requirements.
