Bill Summary
AN ACT RELATING TO ELECTIONS; ENACTING THE AGREEMENT AMONG THE STATES TO ELECT THE PRESIDENT BY NATIONAL POPULAR VOTE; AMENDING THE ELECTION CODE TO CONFORM WITH THE AGREEMENT.
AI Summary
This bill enacts the "Agreement Among the States to Elect the President by National Popular Vote" in New Mexico. Under this agreement, each member state would conduct a statewide popular election for president and vice president, and the presidential elector nominees of the party whose nominees receive the largest national popular vote total would be granted a certificate of election by the state canvassing board, regardless of the vote total within New Mexico. The agreement would take effect when states cumulatively possessing a majority of the electoral votes have enacted it, and a member state may withdraw from the agreement, except within six months of the end of a president's term. The bill also amends New Mexico's existing law on presidential electors to conform with the agreement.
