AI Summary

  • Virginia enters the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact, agreeing to award its electoral votes to the presidential candidate who wins the national popular vote rather than the state popular vote
  • The compact only takes effect when member states collectively possess a majority of electoral votes (270 or more), ensuring the national popular vote winner becomes president
  • Member states must finalize their popular vote counts at least six days before the Electoral College meets and communicate results to other member states within 24 hours
  • States may withdraw from the compact, but withdrawals within six months of a presidential term ending do not take effect until the next president is qualified to serve
  • The compact terminates automatically if the Electoral College is abolished through constitutional amendment
