SD SB101

Presidential electors must notify the Governor before 11 a.m. central time on the congressionally designated election day that they are present at the seat of government and ready to perform their duties

Electors are required to sign a pledge upon nomination committing to vote for the presidential and vice presidential candidates of the party that nominated them

A presidential elector position becomes vacant if the elector dies, resigns, fails to appear, refuses to vote, attempts to cast a blank ballot, or attempts to vote for a candidate other than the one who won the state's general election

If a vacancy occurs before the elector meeting, the state party chairperson must provide up to three alternative electors for the remaining electors to choose from

If a winning presidential or vice presidential candidate withdraws, dies, or becomes permanently disabled between the general election and the electoral vote, electors must vote for the replacement candidate nominated by that party
