SB107 Summary

• Creates the Alabama Uniform Faithful Presidential Electors Act to establish procedures ensuring presidential electors vote in accordance with state voters and their pledges.

• Requires political parties to submit two qualified individuals per elector position to the Secretary of State, designating one as "elector nominee" and one as "alternate elector nominee," with both executing pledges to vote for their party's nominees.

• Authorizes the Secretary of State to reject ballots from electors who refuse to vote, cast unmarked ballots, or vote inconsistently with their pledges, and to remove them from office and appoint substitutes.

• Establishes a replacement process where the alternate elector fills vacant positions, or the Secretary appoints an alternate elector by lot from the same party, then by nomination and plurality vote of remaining electors if needed.

• Requires the Governor to submit amended certificates of ascertainment if the final list of electors differs from previously submitted lists, with the effective date of January 1, 2015.
