AI Summary

  • Adopts the "Agreement Among the States to Elect the President by National Popular Vote" into New York law, allowing states with a majority of electoral votes to implement national popular vote selection of presidential electors.

  • Requires each member state to conduct a statewide popular election for president and vice president, with the chief election official calculating a national popular vote total across all member states.

  • Directs presidential electors in member states to be appointed based on the presidential slate receiving the largest national popular vote total nationwide, rather than by state-level results.

  • Agreement takes effect only when states cumulatively possessing a majority of electoral votes enact it in substantially the same form; member states may withdraw except within six months before a presidential term ends.

  • Terminates if the Electoral College is abolished; any member state may withdraw at any time subject to timing restrictions.
