Electoral college; allocation of electoral votes. Revises the process by which the Commonwealth's electoral votes are allocated among the slates of presidential electors from a winner-take-all basis to a proportional allocation basis. The two electoral votes to which Virginia is entitled by virtue of its representation in the United States Senate shall be allocated to the slate of presidential electors that receives the highest number of votes cast statewide. The total number of electoral votes to which Virginia is entitled by virtue of its representation in the United States House of Representatives shall be allocated among the slates of presidential electors according to the proportional share each slate receives of the total number of votes cast statewide for President as follows: The total number of votes cast for each slate of presidential electors shall be divided by the total number of votes cast for all slates of electors and the resulting proportion shall be multiplied by the number of electoral votes to which Virginia is entitled to determine the number of electoral votes for each slate, rounded to the nearest whole number.
