A bill to amend 1954 PA 116, entitled “Michigan election law,” by amending section 42 (MCL 168.42), as amended by 1999 PA 216.
Outlines the process for political parties in Michigan to select their candidates for presidential electors during the year presidential electors are to be elected. According to the bill, each party is to choose a number of elector candidates equal to Michigan's total congressional representation at its fall state convention. These include one elector from each congressional district and two at-large electors. The names of these candidates must be sent to the secretary of state by the party's state central committee chairperson and secretary within one business day after the state convention. A candidate becomes an elected presidential elector if their party receives the most presidential votes either in their congressional district or statewide, for district and at-large positions respectively.
