Bill > HB2208

This bill modifies how presidential electors are chosen and how they cast their votes in Washington State. It changes the law to specify that one presidential elector will be chosen from each congressional district and two will be chosen from the state at-large, rather than the previous method of allotting electors based on the state's total number of senators and representatives in Congress. The bill also clarifies that if an elector cannot serve, their designated alternate will automatically take their place, and it removes language related to an interstate agreement that would have allocated electors based on the national popular vote. Furthermore, it introduces a civil penalty of up to $1,000 for any elector who votes for a candidate not nominated by their party.
