AI Summary

This bill enacts the "Agreement Among the States to Elect the President by National Popular Vote" into law in New Mexico. The agreement establishes a compact where member states will award their electoral votes to the presidential candidate who wins the national popular vote, rather than the candidate who wins the popular vote in their individual state. The bill also amends the state's Election Code to conform with the agreement, specifying that the presidential electors of the party whose nominees for president and vice president receive the largest national popular vote total will be granted a certificate of election.
