AK SB39

Alaska enacts the "Agreement Among the States to Elect the President by National Popular Vote" as state law, allowing the state to join an interstate compact with other states that adopt identical legislation.

The agreement takes effect only when states cumulatively possessing a majority of electoral votes (270 of 538) have enacted it in substantially the same form.

When the agreement is in effect, each member state's presidential electors must vote for the presidential slate that wins the national popular vote rather than the state's popular vote winner.

Each state's chief election official calculates the national popular vote total across all member states and certifies the national popular vote winner at least six days before the Electoral College meets.

Any member state may withdraw from the agreement, except withdrawals occurring six months or less before the end of a president's term do not take effect until the next presidential term begins.
