Bill > HB4013

This bill, concerning voting in Arizona, proposes to amend existing state law and add a new chapter to adopt an interstate agreement to elect the President of the United States by national popular vote. The core of the bill is the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact, an agreement among states to award their presidential electors to the candidate who wins the most individual votes nationwide, rather than the winner of that state's popular vote. This means that if enough states join the compact, the candidate who receives the most votes across all participating states will win the presidency, regardless of who wins the Electoral College vote under the current system. The bill also clarifies how presidential electors are appointed and how their votes are cast, ensuring that if the national popular vote agreement is in effect, Arizona's electors will be bound to the national popular vote winner, and if it is not in effect, Arizona will revert to its current method of appointing electors based on the state's popular vote.
