  • Tally sheets, statements of returns, and official canvassing results must record each elector candidate as receiving the same vote total as their associated presidential ticket

  • Governor must send certificate of ascertainment to the U.S. Archivist no later than six days before the electors' meeting, listing individual elector names and reporting aggregate vote totals by presidential ticket

  • Ballot instructions are updated to inform voters that a vote for president and vice president counts as a vote for "each of the candidates for elector" rather than the previous "their electors" language
