AI Summary

  • Adopts the "Agreement Among the States to Elect the President by National Popular Vote" as Arizona law in a new chapter of the Arizona Revised Statutes.

  • Requires member states to conduct statewide popular elections for president and vice president, with the chief election official determining the national popular vote total across all member states.

  • Mandates that each member state's presidential electors be appointed in association with the presidential slate that wins the national popular vote, rather than the statewide popular vote winner.

  • Takes effect only when states cumulatively possessing a majority of electoral votes have enacted the agreement in substantially the same form, and terminates if the Electoral College is abolished.

  • Allows member states to withdraw from the agreement, except that withdrawals within six months of the end of a president's term shall not take effect until the next presidential term begins.
