AI Summary

This bill enacts into law the Agreement Among the States to Elect the President by National Popular Vote, meaning Mississippi will join other states in an agreement to award their presidential electors to the candidate who wins the most individual votes nationwide, rather than solely based on the state's popular vote. The agreement, which takes effect when states representing a majority of the Electoral College votes have joined, outlines how each member state will conduct a statewide popular election for President and Vice President, determine the national popular vote winner, and appoint their presidential electors accordingly. It also includes provisions for ties, situations where elector numbers don't match, and allows states to withdraw from the agreement under specific conditions, while preserving existing Mississippi laws related to the selection of presidential electors for potential amendment.
