Bill Summary

A bill TO AMEND THE SOUTH CAROLINA CODE OF LAWS, BY ADDING SECTION 7-19-130 SO AS TO ADOPT "THE AGREEMENT AMONG THE STATES TO ELECT THE PRESIDENT BY NATIONAL POPULAR VOTE", AND FOR OTHER PURPOSES; AND TO REPEAL SECTIONS 7-19-70, 7-19-80, 7-19-90, 7-19-100, AND 7-19-120 ALL RELATING TO PRESIDENTIAL ELECTORS.

AI Summary

This bill adopts "The Agreement Among the States to Elect the President by National Popular Vote," which would require South Carolina to determine the winner of its presidential electors based on the national popular vote, rather than the state's own popular vote. The bill also repeals existing provisions related to the state's current system of appointing presidential electors. The agreement would take effect once states with a majority of electoral votes have adopted it, and a member state could withdraw, except within six months of a presidential term. The bill provides definitions for key terms like "chief election official" and "presidential slate."
