AI Summary

  • Changes ballot presentation of presidential candidates from listing individual presidential electors to displaying the presidential and vice-presidential candidates' names, with the vice-presidential name listed immediately below the presidential candidate.

  • Eliminates the requirement to print names of presidential electors on the ballot, as voters will instead select the presidential ticket directly.

  • Modifies nomination procedures for presidential candidates by requiring designation of presidential electors and vice-presidential running mates through forms prescribed by the secretary of state rather than separate nomination papers for each elector.

  • Updates references throughout election code from "presidential elector" to "president" or "presidential candidate" to align with the ballot presentation changes.

  • Clarifies that a single mark next to the presidential candidate's name counts as a vote for all electors of that party, rather than requiring marks for individual electors.
