-
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.
