SB 906 Summary

  • Establishes Oklahoma's participation in the "Agreement Among the States to Elect the President by National Popular Vote," a multi-state compact.

  • Requires each member state to conduct a statewide popular election for President and Vice President, with electoral votes awarded based on the national popular vote winner rather than state-by-state results.

  • Agreement becomes effective only when states cumulatively possessing a majority of electoral votes (270+) have enacted it, and member states may withdraw except within six months of a Presidential term's end.

  • Specifies that member state chief election officials determine the national popular vote total, designate the winner, and certify the appointment of electoral slates accordingly.

  • Becomes effective November 1, 2013, pending codification as Oklahoma Statutes Title 26, Section 10-110.
