Bill > HB3218

This bill modifies how votes for President and Vice President of the United States are recorded and reported in Missouri elections. It clarifies that a vote for a presidential and vice-presidential ticket is a vote for each of the elector candidates associated with that ticket, and the names of presidential electors will no longer be printed on the ballot, but rather filed with the secretary of state. The bill also updates the tally sheets and statements of returns used by election judges to record votes for presidential electors, ensuring they reflect the votes cast for the associated presidential and vice-presidential candidates. Furthermore, it mandates that the board of state canvassers will announce the results for presidential electors based on the votes cast for their associated presidential and vice-presidential candidates, and will report the aggregate votes for each presidential and vice-presidential ticket. Finally, the bill changes how electors are chosen, stating that one elector will be chosen from each congressional district and two will be chosen at large, and requires the governor to send a certificate of ascertainment to the Archivist of the United States detailing the electors appointed and the aggregated votes for each presidential and vice-presidential ticket.
