Bill > H0053

This bill enacts the "Agreement Among the States to Elect the President by National Popular Vote." The agreement allows any state to become a member by enacting the agreement. Member states will conduct a statewide popular election for President and Vice President, and the candidate with the largest national popular vote total will be designated as the "national popular vote winner." The presidential elector certifying official in each member state will then certify the appointment of the elector slate nominated in association with the national popular vote winner. The agreement will take effect when states with a majority of the electoral votes have enacted it, and member states can withdraw except within six months of the end of a President's term. The bill defines key terms like "chief election official" and "presidential slate."
