Oregon SB1509 modifies the process for electors voting for President and Vice President, including changes to handling vacancies and replacement.

Oregon SB1509 revises the rules for electors voting for President and Vice President. Electors must vote for the candidates of their nominating party, unless the candidate dies or withdraws before the meeting of electors, in which case they vote for the replacement candidate selected by the party. The bill also mandates that electors complete two ballots, one for President and one for Vice President, and outlines procedures for filling vacancies. These changes ensure a clear and consistent process for electors in the event of candidate changes or vacancies.
