AI Summary

  • Florida would enter the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact, agreeing to award its presidential electors to the candidate who wins the most popular votes nationwide rather than the candidate who wins the most votes within Florida alone
  • The agreement takes effect only when enacted by states that collectively hold a majority of electoral votes (currently 270 of 538), ensuring no member state acts unilaterally before the compact can determine the election outcome
  • Each member state's chief election official must tally popular votes from all 50 states and the District of Columbia to determine a "national popular vote winner" and certify that winner's elector slate at least 6 days before the Electoral College meets
  • A member state may withdraw from the agreement at any time, except that withdrawals occurring within 6 months of the end of a presidential term do not take effect until the next President or Vice President is qualified to serve
  • The act has a proposed effective date of July 1, 2025, and the compact automatically terminates if the Electoral College is abolished
