This bill modifies the allocation of presidential electors in the state by establishing a new system for how votes are cast. Specifically, it mandates that there will be 2 at-large presidential electors who will cast their votes for the presidential and vice-presidential candidates that receive the highest number of votes statewide. Additionally, each congressional district will have its own presidential elector who will cast their vote for the candidates that receive the most votes within that specific district.

To implement these changes, the bill amends RSA 655:54 to require each political party to nominate 2 at-large presidential electors and one elector for each congressional district. Furthermore, it amends RSA 660:29 to clarify that at-large electors will vote based on the statewide results, while congressional district electors will vote based on the results within their respective districts. The bill will take effect 60 days after its passage.
