AI Summary

  • Adopts the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact into Arizona law, allowing Arizona to join an agreement among states to elect the president by national popular vote.

  • Requires Arizona to conduct a statewide popular election for president and vice president and to appoint its presidential electors based on the nationwide popular vote winner rather than Arizona's own state results.

  • Takes effect only when states possessing a majority of electoral votes (270 out of 538) have enacted the same agreement, at which point the compact governs how all member states appoint electors.

  • Allows member states to withdraw from the agreement, except that withdrawals within six months of the end of a presidential term cannot take effect until after the next president is qualified to serve.

  • Terminates automatically if the Electoral College is abolished by constitutional amendment.
