Title: When do electors vote? Post by: FEMA Camp Administrator on August 16, 2011, 11:38:41 AM Say in 1872 when Horace Greeley died before the electors voted so the electors picked their own candidates. Is there a source for the dates of when the electors vote? In a tl I'm working on elsewhere, the winner of an election dies during the lame duck period and my plan is for the party to quickly nominate his Vice-Presidential nominee and another person before the electors have a chance to vote. Is that possible, and if so, as said before, what are the dates?

Gore might have turned out had the day been the Tuesday after the first Monday in January instead.
