Bill > H581

This bill proposes a change to how electoral votes are cast in Massachusetts, specifically by altering Section 148 of Chapter 54 of the General Laws. Currently, the method for assigning electoral votes is not detailed in the provided text, but this bill would introduce Section 148A, which would require that an elector assigned to a specific congressional district cast their vote for the presidential and vice presidential candidates who won the popular vote within that particular district. For any electors not assigned to a specific district, often referred to as "at-large" electors, they would cast their ballot for the presidential and vice presidential candidates who received the most votes statewide. This change aims to apportion electoral votes based on individual congressional districts rather than a statewide winner-take-all system for all electoral votes.
