Presidential electors.

Bill Subjects

Presidential Electors

Abstract

Existing federal law requires a state's electors for the offices of President and Vice President of the United States to meet and vote on the first Tuesday after the second Wednesday in December immediately following their appointment at a location specified by the legislature of that state. Existing state law requires California's presidential electors to assemble at the State Capitol for this purpose. This bill would update state law to conform to the requirement that presidential electors meet and vote on the first Tuesday after the second Wednesday in December. The bill would also require the Governor to designate an alternative location for the electors to assemble if it is unsafe to meet in the State Capitol due to a proclaimed state of emergency.
