Bill Summary
Relating to the adoption of the Agreement Among the States to Elect the President by National Popular Vote.
AI Summary
This bill proposes to adopt the Agreement Among the States to Elect the President by National Popular Vote. The agreement would require Texas to conduct a statewide popular election for President and Vice President, with the candidate receiving the most nationwide votes designated as the "national popular vote winner." The state would then be required to appoint its presidential electors in accordance with the national popular vote winner, rather than the winner of the statewide vote in Texas. The bill specifies that if there is a conflict between the compact and Texas law, the compact would control, except that the Texas Constitution would take precedence.
