ballot for the ensuing general election.

6902. At the general election in each leap year, or at any other

then entitled to.

6903. On or before the day of meeting of the electors, the Governor

many persons as will supply the deficiency.

6906. The electors, when convened, if both candidates are alive,
shall vote by ballot for that person for President and that person
for Vice President of the United States, who are, respectively, the
candidates of the political party which they represent, one of whom,
at least, is not an inhabitant of this state.

6907. The electors shall name in their ballots the person voted for
as President, and in separate ballots the person voted for as Vice
President.

6908. The electors shall make separate lists of all persons voted
for as President and of all persons voted for as Vice President, and
of the number of votes for each, which lists they shall sign,
certify, seal, and transmit by mail to the seat of the Government of
the United States, directed to the President of the Senate.

6909. Each presidential elector shall receive ten dollars ($10) for
his or her services, and mileage at the rate of five cents ($0.05)
per mile for each mile of travel from his or her domicile to the

Their accounts therefor shall be certified by the Secretary of
State, and audited by the Controller, who shall draw his or her
warrants for the same on the Treasurer, payable out of the General
Fund.
