Bill > S0860

This bill enacts the Agreement Among the States to Elect the President by National Popular Vote, which allows any state to join and conduct a statewide popular election for the President and Vice President of the United States. The agreement establishes a process for appointing presidential electors based on the nationwide popular vote rather than the state-by-state winner-take-all system. The agreement takes effect once states cumulatively possessing a majority of the electoral votes have enacted it, and member states can withdraw from the agreement, except within 6 months of the end of a President's term. The bill defines key terms such as "chief election official," "presidential elector," and "statewide popular election."
