By doing so, they also help choose the electors who will represent their state in the Electoral College.<\/p>\n Mid-November through December 19, 2016<\/strong><\/p>\n After the presidential election, the governor of your state prepares seven Certificates of Ascertainment. \u201cAs soon as practicable,\u201d after the election results in your state are certified, the governor sends one of the Certificates of Ascertainment to the Archivist.<\/p>\n Certificates of Ascertainment should be sent to the Archivist no later than the meeting of the electors in December. However, federal law sets no penalty for missing the deadline.<\/p>\n The remaining six Certificates of Ascertainment are held for use at the meeting of the Electors in December.<\/p>\n December 13, 2016<\/strong><\/p>\n States must make final decisions in any controversies over the appointment of their electors at least six days before the meeting of the Electors. This is so their electoral votes will be presumed valid when presented to Congress.<\/p>\n Decisions by states\u2019 courts are conclusive, if decided under laws enacted before Election Day.<\/p>\n December 19, 2016<\/strong><\/p>\n The Electors meet in their state and vote for President and Vice President on separate ballots. The electors record their votes on six \u201cCertificates of Vote,\u201d which are paired with the six remaining Certificates of Ascertainment.<\/p>\n The electors sign, seal, and certify six sets of electoral votes. A set of electoral votes consists of one Certificate of Ascertainment and one Certificate of Vote. These are distributed immediately as follows:<\/p>\n December 28, 2016<\/strong><\/p>\n Electoral votes (the Certificates of Vote) must be received by the President of the Senate and the Archivist no later than nine days after the meeting of the electors. States face no legal penalty for failure to comply.<\/p>\n If votes are lost or delayed, the Archivist may take extraordinary measures to retrieve duplicate originals.<\/p>\n On or Before January 3, 2017<\/strong><\/p>\n The Archivist and\/or representatives from the Office of the Federal Register meet with the Secretary of the Senate and the Clerk of the House in late December or early January. This is, in part, a ceremonial occasion. Informal meetings may take place earlier.<\/p>\n January 6, 2017<\/strong><\/p>\n The Congress meets in joint session to count the electoral votes. Congress may pass a law to change this date.<\/p>\n The Vice President, as President of the Senate, presides over the count and announces the results of the Electoral College vote. The President of the Senate then declares which persons, if any, have been elected President and Vice President of the United States.<\/p>\n If a State submits conflicting sets of electoral votes to Congress, the two Houses acting concurrently may accept or reject the votes. If they do not concur, the votes of the electors certified by the Governor of the State on the Certificate of Ascertainment would be counted in Congress.<\/p>\n If no Presidential candidate wins 270 or more electoral votes, a majority, the 12th Amendment to the Constitution provides for the House of Representatives to decide the Presidential election. If necessary the House would elect the President by majority vote, choosing from the three candidates who received the greatest number of electoral votes. The vote would be taken by state, with each state having one vote.<\/p>\n If no Vice Presidential candidate wins 270 or more electoral votes, a majority, the 12th Amendment provides for the Senate to elect the Vice President. If necessary, the Senate would elect the Vice President by majority vote, choosing from the two candidates who received the greatest number of electoral votes. The vote would be taken by state, with each Senator having one vote.<\/p>\n If any objections to the Electoral College vote are made, they must be submitted in writing and be signed by at least one member of the House and one Senator. If objections are presented, the House and Senate withdraw to their respective chambers to consider their merits under procedures set out in federal law.<\/p>\n January 20, 2017 at Noon\u2014Inauguration Day<\/strong><\/p>\n The President-elect takes the Oath of Office and becomes the President of the United States.\u201d<\/p>\n http:\/\/www.archives.gov\/federal-register\/electoral-college\/key-dates.html<\/a><\/p>\n AMENDMENT XX<\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cSection 1.

\npossess the information and discernment requisite to such complicated
\ninvestigations. It was also peculiarly desirable to afford as little
