South Dakota is adopting the Uniform Faithful Presidential Electors Act, which establishes rules for how the state's presidential electors must vote in presidential elections. The bill repeals the existing law on this topic (South Dakota Codified Law §7-8-16) and replaces it with the uniform model law designed to ensure electors vote according to state law and their pledges.
