AI Summary

  • Adopts the "Agreement Among the States to Elect the President by National Popular Vote" as Arizona law, allowing Arizona to join an interstate compact to reform presidential elections.

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

  • Directs each member state to award its presidential electors to the slate that wins the national popular vote, rather than the slate that wins within that state.

  • Becomes effective when states cumulatively possessing a majority of electoral votes (270+) have enacted the agreement, and allows member states to withdraw except within six months of a president's term end.

  • Terminates if the electoral college is abolished and includes provisions for tie-breaking and nominating electors if a state's elector slate size differs from its electoral vote count.
