AUSTIN – Texas Secretary of State Ruth R. Hughs today convened the meeting of presidential Electors at the State Capitol following the November 3rd general election. Per the Texas Election Code, Sec. 192.006, Electors are to convene at 2 PM on the first Monday after the second Wednesday in December to perform their duties as prescribed by federal law, which includes casting votes for the president and vice president of the United States in years in which the office is on the ballot.

“For 175 years, Electors from our state have cast their votes on behalf of the electorate,” said Secretary Hughs. “I am honored to call today’s meeting of Texas’ Electors to order as we continue in this tradition and fulfill the duties with which the people of the Lone Star State have entrusted us.”The number of electoral votes apportioned to states is directly proportional to the number of seats the state holds in Congress—Texas has 38 electoral votes.
