in plain englishAI-generated · not legal advice

Presidential electors in each state must meet and vote on a set day. That day is the first Tuesday after the second Wednesday in December, right after they're appointed. They meet at the place set by that state's pre-election-day law.

In every state, the electors chosen to cast that state's votes for President and Vice President must meet and vote on a specific date: the first Tuesday after the second Wednesday in December, following their appointment. They meet at the place set by that state's own laws — specifically, the laws that were already in place before election day, not any law passed afterward.
