AI Summary

  • Enacts the "Agreement Among the States to Elect the President by National Popular Vote" as Arizona law, establishing a compact among states to allocate their electoral votes based on the national popular vote winner rather than state-level results.

  • Agreement takes effect only when states possessing a majority of electoral votes (270 of 538) have enacted it in substantially the same form.

  • Each member state must conduct a statewide popular election and designate the presidential slate receiving the largest national popular vote total as the "national popular vote winner."

  • Member states must appoint presidential electors associated with the national popular vote winner, regardless of which candidate won the state's own popular vote.

  • Any member state may withdraw from the agreement, except withdrawals within six months of the end of a president's term will not take effect until the next presidential term begins.
