They are the commonwealthâs presidential electors, appointed by the winning campaign to fulfill the duties laid out in Article II Section 1 of the Constitution, as well as the Twelfth Amendment, and codified in federal law.

Instead of convening at the Capitol in the chamber of the state House of Representatives for an ornate ceremony filled with pomp and circumstance, this yearâs gathering will take place in the Forum Auditorium, across from the Harrisburg Capitol Complex.Â
