AI Summary
This bill amends Section 23-15-789 of the Mississippi Code to change the day when Presidential Electors meet to cast their votes for President and Vice President. Specifically, the bill shifts the meeting date from the first Monday after the second Wednesday in December to the first Tuesday after the second Wednesday in December.

The electors will continue to meet at the state capitol and are required to vote and submit their votes in accordance with United States federal laws. If any elector is unable to attend, the remaining electors can appoint someone to fill the vacant position, and this appointment must be immediately reported to the Secretary of State. The bill is set to take effect on July 1, 2025, providing ample time for implementation and preparation.
