Much like the GE it is not mandatory.

Article II, Section 1, Clause 2

Each State shall appoint, in such Manner as the Legislature thereof may direct, a Number of Electors, equal to the whole Number of Senators and Representatives to which the State may be entitled in the Congress: but no Senator or Representative, or Person holding an Office of Trust or Profit under the United States, shall be appointed an Elector.

The states can (and will if there was no or an inconclusive election) choose the Electors through their respective Legislatures.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Undecided
