The bill amends Section 17-4-10 of the General Laws in Chapter 17-4, titled "Federal Elective Officers," to change the process by which presidential electors are elected in Rhode Island. It establishes that the state will be divided into four groups of municipalities, each representing approximately equal populations, during the redistricting process. Each group will correspond to one of Rhode Island's electoral votes, and the candidate receiving the plurality of votes in each group will be awarded one electoral vote. The number of municipality groups will be based on the number of electoral votes Rhode Island is entitled to receive through the redistricting process. The act will take effect upon its passage.
