AI Summary
This bill amends existing Oklahoma law concerning Presidential Electors, who are individuals chosen to cast the state's electoral votes in a presidential election. Specifically, it updates the process for filling a vacancy if an elector fails to attend the required meeting or refuses to vote for their party's nominated candidates for President and Vice President. The key change is that any elector appointed to fill such a vacancy must now take an oath, witnessed by the Governor or their designee and filed with the Secretary of State, affirming they will vote for the nominees of their political party. The bill also specifies an effective date of November 1, 2026.
