This resolution has already been agreed to by both the House and the Senate to fulfill a legal requirement for the transition of power.

This resolution sets the official schedule for Congress to meet and count the electoral votes from the 2024 election. The meeting will take place in the House of Representatives on January 6, 2025, at 1:00 p.m.
The process involves opening and reading the certificates of electoral votes from every state in alphabetical order. Four people, called tellers, will be chosen to record the votes as they are read aloud in front of both the House and the Senate.
Once all the votes are counted, the results will be handed to the leader of the Senate. That person will then officially announce who has been elected as the next president and vice president of the United States.
