Fox News: Election calendar continues with key post-election dates
Election Day has passed, but states must still verify vote tallies under new regulations established by the Electoral Reform and Presidential Transition Improvement Act, prompted by the January 6 insurrection. This law updates the 1887 Electoral Count Act, setting deadlines for state certifications and legal challenges.
The new legislation clarifies the electoral process, including the role of the vice president in counting votes, and aims to prevent confusion similar to that experienced during the 2020 election. Key deadlines include state certification by December 11 and the counting of electoral votes by Congress on January 6.
