This bill modifies the process for allocating the state's presidential electors by establishing a new system for how votes are cast. Specifically, it introduces the requirement that each party nominate 2 at-large presidential electors and one presidential elector for each congressional district, as indicated by the insertion of language in RSA 655:54. Additionally, the bill stipulates that at-large presidential electors will cast their votes for the candidates who received the highest number of votes statewide, while congressional district electors will vote for the candidates who received the highest number of votes within their respective districts, as detailed in the amendments to RSA 660:29.

The bill effectively replaces the previous method of electing presidential electors with this new apportionment system, which aims to better reflect the voting outcomes at both the state and congressional district levels. The changes are set to take effect 60 days after the bill's passage, ensuring a timely implementation of the new voting structure.
