AI Summary

  • Enacts the "Agreement Among the States to Elect the President by National Popular Vote" as Chapter 9 of Arizona Revised Statutes Title 16.

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

  • Once effective, each member state's presidential electors must vote for the presidential slate that wins the national popular vote rather than the state's popular vote winner.
