SB522 Summary

• Alabama adopts the "Agreement Among the States to Elect the President by National Popular Vote," an interstate compact allowing states to join by enacting the same agreement.

• Each member state shall conduct a statewide popular election for President and Vice President, with the chief election official determining the national popular vote total across all participating states.

• Member states agree to appoint their presidential electors to the slate that wins the national popular vote, rather than the state's popular vote winner.

• The agreement takes effect only when states possessing a majority of electoral votes have enacted it in substantially the same form; any state may withdraw except within six months of a President's term ending.

• This act becomes effective on the first day of the third month following passage and approval by the Governor.
