Maryland SB237 revises election law to detail procedures for presidential electors, including filling vacancies and casting votes.

Maryland SB237 amends election law to establish procedures for presidential electors.

If a vacancy occurs, the alternate nominee or a substitute chosen by lot fills the position. Presidential electors must mark their ballots for the candidates of their party or the unaffiliated candidate, as pledged. The State Administrator oversees the process, ensuring electors follow their pledges.
