§ 2473. Provisions relative to presidential election
(a) When the President and Vice President are to be elected, the ballot shall contain
the names of all candidates for these offices, arranged in alphabetical order according
to the surname of the presidential candidate of each party. The names of the electors
shall not be printed on the ballot. A vote for the presidential and vice presidential
nominees of a party shall constitute a vote for the electors nominated by that party.
(b) The name and state of residence of the presidential and vice presidential candidate
of each party shall be listed on separate lines joined together by a bracket, followed
by the party designations and a single square for that pair of candidates. In lieu
of the instructions: “Vote for not more than (the number of candidates to be elected),”
the following instructions shall appear: “Mark ONE oval only.”
(c)(1) If a candidate whose name is not printed on the ballot receives the greatest number
of votes for President, the Secretary of State shall notify him or her of that fact,
and within two weeks thereafter, the candidate shall file with the Secretary of State
a list of voters equal to the number of electors that the State is entitled to elect.
The list shall be signed by the candidate personally.
(2) The persons so named shall be electors, having the duties prescribed in this title. (Added 1977, No. 269 (Adj. Sess.), § 1; amended 2007, No. 54, § 6; 2019, No. 67, § 12.)
