Bill Summary
An Act to Adopt an Interstate Compact to Elect the President of the United States by National Popular Vote
AI Summary
This bill amends Maine's election laws to join the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact, which is an agreement among states to award their electoral votes to the presidential candidate who wins the national popular vote, rather than the candidate who wins the state's popular vote. The bill outlines the procedures for conducting ranked-choice voting in presidential elections when the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact is in effect, including how to determine the national popular vote winner and how to appoint the state's presidential electors. The bill also requires the Secretary of State to notify state officials when the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact takes effect or no longer governs the appointment of presidential electors.
