AI Summary
- Florida would enter the Agreement Among the States to Elect the President by National Popular Vote, requiring member states to award all their presidential electoral votes to the candidate who wins the national popular vote rather than the state-level popular vote
- The agreement only takes effect when states cumulatively possessing a majority of electoral votes (270 or more) have enacted it, and it governs elector appointments in any year where it is in effect as of July 20
- Each member state's chief election official must determine and publicly release vote counts for each presidential slate across all states and the District of Columbia, producing a "national popular vote total" to identify the winner
- Member states may withdraw from the agreement, but any withdrawal occurring within 6 months of the end of a President's term does not take effect until a President or Vice President has been qualified to serve the next term
- The act would take effect July 1, 2023, and the agreement would automatically terminate if the Electoral College is abolished
