AI Summary

  • Enacts the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact, an agreement among states to award their presidential electors to the winner of the national popular vote rather than the state-level popular vote.

  • The agreement takes effect when states collectively possessing a majority of electoral votes have enacted it in substantially the same form.

  • Each member state shall conduct a statewide popular election for President and Vice President, with chief election officials calculating the national popular vote total across all member states.

  • Presidential electors in member states shall be appointed based on the national popular vote winner, except in case of a tie, when the winner of that state's popular vote determines the electors.

  • Member states may withdraw from the agreement except within six months of the end of a President's term, and the agreement terminates if the electoral college is abolished.
