AI Summary
This bill enacts the "Agreement Among the States to Elect the President by National Popular Vote," creating a compact between participating states and the District of Columbia to change how the U.S. President is elected. Under this agreement, each member state will conduct a statewide popular election for president and vice president, and the candidate who receives the most votes nationwide, known as the "national popular vote winner," will win the presidency. The bill defines key terms such as "chief executive" (governor or mayor), "elector slate" (candidates for presidential elector), "chief election official" (official certifying vote totals), "presidential elector" (an elector for president and vice president), "presidential elector certifying official" (official certifying elector appointments), "presidential slate" (candidates for president and vice president), "state" (including the District of Columbia), and "statewide popular election" (a general election counted on a statewide basis). The compact takes effect when states with a majority of the electoral votes have adopted it, and it will terminate if the Electoral College is abolished.
