Introduced Text

Massachusetts H877 changes how Electoral College votes are delegated in the state.

Massachusetts H877 modifies the delegation of Electoral College votes by requiring each congressional district's presidential elector to vote for the presidential and vice-presidential candidates who received the most votes in that district. Two additional electors are chosen at-large and must vote for the candidates who received the most votes statewide. The bill also outlines the process for electors to meet and organize, including the roles of the presiding officer and secretary.
