Revise meeting date for presidential electors to align with federal law
This bill updates Montana's law to change the date when presidential electors meet from the first Monday after the second Wednesday in December to the first Monday after the second Monday in December, aligning the state with the federal Electoral Count Act. The change applies to all presidential electors in Montana and ensures their meeting occurs on the same day as the federal electoral vote count. The bill amends existing statutes governing how electors cast their votes and requires the secretary of state to distribute and collect ballots according to the new schedule. It takes effect immediately upon passage and approval.
