AI Summary

  • Establishes the "Interstate Compact to Elect the President by National Popular Vote" as Michigan law, allowing Michigan to join other states in a multistate agreement.

  • Requires member states to conduct statewide popular elections for President and Vice President, with chief election officials calculating a national popular vote total across all participating states.

  • Directs member states to appoint their presidential electors to the slate of candidates who win the national popular vote, rather than the candidate who wins each individual state's popular vote.

  • Takes effect when states cumulatively possessing a majority of electoral votes (270 or more) have enacted the agreement in substantially the same form.

  • Allows member states to withdraw from the compact, except that withdrawals within six months of the end of a presidential term do not take effect until after the next presidential term begins.
