Bill > S416

This bill would establish North Carolina as a member of the Agreement Among the States to Elect the President by National Popular Vote. The key provisions of the bill are: 1) North Carolina would join an interstate compact that would allocate the state's presidential electors to the candidate who wins the national popular vote, rather than the candidate who wins the state's popular vote; 2) The state's chief election official would be responsible for determining the national popular vote winner and certifying the appointment of the corresponding slate of presidential electors; and 3) The bill would make various changes to state law to implement the national popular vote compact, including modifying the governor's role in certifying presidential electors.
