AI Summary

  • Amends Idaho Code Section 34-1501 to require the Secretary of State to prepare lists of presidential electors according to the National Popular Vote agreement when it governs elector appointment in a given year.

  • Enacts a new Chapter 16 in Title 34, Idaho Code establishing Idaho's membership in the Agreement Among the States to Elect the President by National Popular Vote.

  • Agreement takes effect when states cumulatively possessing a majority of electoral votes enact it in substantially the same form; member states must conduct statewide popular elections for president and vice-president.

  • Presidential electors in member states are appointed based on the national popular vote winner rather than state-level results, with the chief election official of each state determining and certifying the national popular vote winner.

  • Agreement terminates if the Electoral College is abolished and allows member states to withdraw except within six months of the end of a presidential term.
