Bill
AI Summary
- Florida would enter the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact, pledging to award all of the state's presidential electoral votes to the candidate who wins the national popular vote across all 50 states and the District of Columbia
- The agreement takes effect only when states collectively possessing a majority of electoral votes (currently 270 of 538) have enacted the compact, with a key determination date of July 20 of each election year
- Each member state's chief election official must tally popular votes from every state and the District of Columbia to determine a "national popular vote winner," then certify electors for the winning slate
- Member states may withdraw from the agreement at any time, except that withdrawals occurring within 6 months of the end of a President's term do not take effect until a new President or Vice President has qualified to serve
- The act was introduced by Senator Torres with a proposed effective date of July 1, 2023, and includes a provision that the agreement automatically terminates if the Electoral College is abolished
