Establishes procedures for filling vacant presidential elector positions in Alabama if electors fail to vote as pledged.
This bill establishes the Alabama Uniform Faithful Presidential Electors Act, which sets procedures for filling vacant presidential elector positions if electors fail to vote as pledged. It requires electors to execute a pledge to vote according to their state's voters' intentions. If an elector fails to vote as pledged, their position becomes vacant. The Secretary of State will fill vacancies using alternate electors or by lot, and the Governor will submit an amended certificate of ascertainment. The act aims to ensure electors vote in line with their state's voters.
