ANNAPOLIS, Md. (AP) - Maryland members of the Electoral College are meeting in Annapolis to cast their votes.
State Board of Elections spokeswoman Donna Duncan says the 10 electors are meeting at 1 p.m. Monday in the Maryland State House.
They're required by law to vote for the presidential and vice presidential candidates who received the plurality of votes cast in the state in the Nov. 8 general election.
The Democratic ticket of Hillary Clinton and Tim Kaine won in Maryland. They also won the nationwide popular vote. But the Republican ticket of Donald Trump and Mike Pence won in states with more Electoral College votes than the Democrats.
Duncan says the actual voting will take about 30 minutes, preceded by ceremonial speeches and followed by the signing of official documents.
Delaware
DOVER, Del. (AP) - Delaware's three Democratic electors are gathering to officially cast their ballots in the U.S. presidential election.
Delaware's Electoral College voters were to convene Monday morning at Legislative Hall in Dover.
The three electors, Lydia York, Linda Cavanaugh and Lynn Fuller, have all said they will cast their votes for Hillary Clinton.
Clinton won Delaware's presidential election and the state's three electoral votes but lost the nationwide Electoral College vote to Republican president-elect Donald Trump.
Virginia
RICHMOND, Va. (AP) - Virginia's Democratic members of the Electoral College are convening to cast their vote for the next president of the United States.
The electors will meet at the state Capitol at noon. Virginia, like most states, has a winner-take-all system that awards all electors to the candidate that carried that state. The electors are bound to vote for their party's nominee.
Virginia has 13 electors, corresponding to the number of seats the state has in the U.S. Senate and the House of Representatives combined.
A candidate must get 270 votes to win the presidency.
