This bill amends several sections of the Nebraska Revised Statutes concerning the selection and appointment of presidential electors. Notably, it changes the number of presidential electors selected from each congressional district from one to five, while also modifying the language around how these electors are chosen. The bill specifies that five electors will be selected at large, rather than two, and clarifies the process for certifying the names of these electors to the Governor and Secretary of State. Additionally, it introduces a requirement for the Governor to include a security feature in the certificate of ascertainment for the state's presidential electors.

Furthermore, the bill outlines the responsibilities of the presidential electors, including their obligation to mark their ballots for the candidates who received the highest number of votes in the state. It also establishes procedures for filling vacancies among electors and emphasizes the importance of adhering to the pledge made by each elector regarding their voting. The original sections of the law that are being amended are repealed, streamlining the legal framework governing presidential electors in Nebraska.
