Oklahoma SB602 prohibits Presidential Electors from voting for ineligible or decertified candidates and nullifies their pledges.

Oklahoma SB602 amends state election laws to prohibit Presidential Electors from voting for or pledging their votes to a presidential candidate who becomes ineligible or decertified. If a nominee for President or Vice President is found ineligible or decertified, their pledge is nullified, and any vote cast for them is ignored and not counted. The bill also mandates that the State Election Board post notices of ineligibility or decertification and requires Electors to subscribe to an oath affirming their commitment to vote for their party's nominees.
