This bill amends Section 13-25-307 of the Montana Code Annotated to change the date for the meeting of presidential electors from the first Monday after the second Wednesday in December to the first Tuesday after the second Wednesday in December. This revision aligns Montana's law with the federal Electoral Count Act, ensuring consistency in the timing of electoral meetings across states. The bill also outlines the procedures for electors in terms of voting and ballot submission, emphasizing the importance of adhering to pledges made by the electors.
Additionally, the bill includes a new section that establishes an immediate effective date upon passage and approval. This means that the changes to the meeting date and related procedures will take effect without delay, allowing for prompt implementation in the electoral process.
