Bill > AJR6

This Joint Resolution proposes to amend the Nevada Constitution to adopt the National Popular Vote Compact, an agreement among states to award their Electoral College votes to the presidential candidate who wins the most votes nationwide, rather than just the most votes within their own state. The compact, once enacted by states collectively holding a majority of electoral votes, would require each member state to conduct a statewide popular election for President and Vice President and then appoint presidential electors who are pledged to the candidate who wins the national popular vote. The resolution clarifies definitions for terms like "chief executive" (Governor or Mayor), "elector slate" (candidates nominated for elector), "chief election official" (official certifying vote totals), "presidential elector" (elector for President/VP), "presidential elector certifying official" (official certifying elector appointments), "presidential slate" (candidates for President and VP), "state" (including the District of Columbia), and "statewide popular election" (a general election counted statewide). Nevada would be able to withdraw from or rejoin the compact through legislation, and the compact would terminate if the Electoral College is abolished.
