Election Law - Presidential Electors - Selection and Voting

HB 182 updates Maryland's process for selecting and managing presidential electors. It requires all presidential elector nominees (from political parties or unaffiliated candidates) to sign a pledge committing to vote for their respective candidate. The bill establishes specific procedures for filling vacancies among electors (e.g., appointing alternates or using lot selection) and mandates that the State Administrator presides over the electors' meeting. It also sets rules for amending the official certificate of electors if changes occur before the vote, ensuring the final list reflects current nominees.
