Bill Summary
AN ACT amending section 16-212, Arizona Revised Statutes; amending title 16, Arizona Revised Statutes, by adding chapter 9; relating to voting.
AI Summary
This bill enacts the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact, an agreement among states to award their presidential electors to the candidate who wins the national popular vote, rather than the winner of that state's popular vote. Specifically, it amends existing Arizona law to state that presidential electors will be appointed by popular vote and clarifies how their electoral college votes should be cast based on this agreement, including provisions for replacement electors if a chosen elector refuses to vote according to the compact. The bill also adds a new chapter to Arizona law that formally adopts the text of the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact, which outlines the terms of the agreement, including how states join, how presidential electors are appointed based on the national popular vote winner, and how states can withdraw from the compact. The compact takes effect when states representing a majority of electoral votes have joined, and it will supersede conflicting state laws when in effect.
