AI Summary
This bill enacts the Agreement Among the States to Elect the President by National Popular Vote. The key provisions of the bill are:
1. Any state can join the agreement by enacting it into law.

3. The chief election official in each member state will determine the national popular vote total for each presidential slate and designate the slate with the largest total as the "national popular vote winner."
4. Each member state will then appoint its presidential electors based on the national popular vote winner, rather than the winner in their own state.
5. The agreement will take effect once states possessing a majority of the Electoral College have joined, and a member state can withdraw with some restrictions.
6. The agreement will terminate if the Electoral College is abolished.
