What happens to the election if Biden dies before it?

  • With considerable time til the election
  • Not enough time to change the election

Assuming Biden wins on election day, what is the procedure at various stages throughout the election if Biden dies?

  • After election day but before votes are counted
  • Votes counted but not certified by Congress
  • Certified but not inaugurated
  • Any other stages I’ve missed

    Additional question. If the Vice President takes over and becomes President, do they finish the full term or are they just interim president until a new election can take place?

      They finish the current term and appoint a new VP. The election calendar doesn’t change
