AI Summary

  • Establishes an interstate compact to elect the U.S. President by national popular vote rather than the Electoral College system.

  • Takes effect when states with a cumulative majority of electoral votes (270+) enact the agreement in substantially the same form.

  • Requires member states to conduct statewide popular elections for president and appoint electors to the candidate slate that wins the national popular vote total, regardless of results within that state.

  • Chief election officials in member states must determine the national popular vote winner by aggregating votes across all member states and communicate results within 24 hours.

  • Allows member states to withdraw from the compact, except withdrawals cannot take effect within six months before the end of a presidential term; the agreement terminates if the Electoral College is abolished.
