AI Summary

  • Enacts the "Agreement Among the States to Elect the President by National Popular Vote" into North Carolina law, allowing the state to join other states in this interstate compact.

  • Requires member states to conduct statewide popular elections for President and Vice President, with each state's chief election official calculating a combined national popular vote total across all member states.

  • Directs each member state to appoint its presidential electors to the slate associated with the winner of the national popular vote, rather than the state's own popular vote winner.

  • Agreement takes effect only when states representing a majority of electoral votes (270 of 538) have enacted it, and allows member states to withdraw except during the six months before a presidential term ends.

  • Designates the State Board of Elections as North Carolina's chief election official and the Governor as the presidential elector certifying official for implementing the compact's requirements.
