AI Summary

  • Ratifies the Agreement Among the States to Elect the President by National Popular Vote interstate compact, which becomes operative when states cumulatively possessing a majority of electoral votes enact it.

  • Requires each member state to conduct a statewide popular election and appoint presidential electors based on the national popular vote winner rather than the state's popular vote winner.

  • Directs the chief election official of each member state to determine the national popular vote total across all states and designate the presidential slate with the largest national total as the "national popular vote winner."
