Bill > HB55

This bill enacts the "Agreement Among the States to Elect the President by National Popular Vote." The key provisions are: 1) The agreement allows any state to join and requires the state to allocate its electoral college votes to the candidate who wins the national popular vote, rather than the candidate who wins the state's popular vote. 2) The agreement will take effect once states cumulatively possessing a majority of the electoral college (270 votes) have enacted it. 3) The bill amends New Mexico's election code to conform with the agreement, specifying that the state's electoral college votes will be awarded to the candidate who wins the national popular vote, rather than the candidate who wins New Mexico's popular vote. 4) The agreement can be withdrawn by member states, except for withdrawals within 6 months of a presidential election, and will terminate if the electoral college is abolished.
