§ § 16.1-14.1-06Elector voting.

1. At the time designated for elector voting and after all vacant positions have been filled
under section 16.1-14.1-05, the secretary of state shall provide each elector with a
presidential and a vice presidential ballot. The elector shall mark the elector's
presidential and vice presidential ballots with the elector's votes for the offices of
president and vice president, respectively, along with the elector's signature and the
elector's legibly printed name.
2. Except as otherwise provided by law other than this chapter, each elector shall present
both completed ballots to the secretary of state, who shall examine the ballots and
accept as cast all ballots of electors whose votes are consistent with their pledges
executed under section 16.1-14.1-03 or subsection 3 of section 16.1-14.1-05. Except
as otherwise provided by law other than this chapter, the secretary of state may not
accept and may not count either an elector's presidential or vice presidential ballot if
the elector has not marked both ballots or has marked a ballot in violation of the
elector's pledge.
3. An elector who refuses to present a ballot, presents an unmarked ballot, or presents a
ballot marked in violation of the elector's pledge executed under section 16.1-14.1-03
or subsection 3 of section 16.1-14.1-05 vacates the office of elector, creating a vacant
position to be filled under section 16.1-14.1-05.
4. The secretary of state shall distribute ballots to and collect ballots from a substitute
elector and repeat the process under this section of examining ballots, declaring and
filling vacant positions as required, and recording appropriately completed ballots from
the substituted electors, until all of this state's electoral votes have been cast and
recorded.
