Bill > LD511

This bill enacts an interstate compact, an agreement between states, to implement a national popular vote for President and Vice President of the United States. Under this agreement, each participating state will hold a statewide popular election for President and Vice President, and the chief election official in each member state will tally the votes from all member states to determine the national popular vote winner. The presidential electors in each member state will then be appointed to support the presidential slate that won the national popular vote, ensuring that the candidate who receives the most individual votes nationwide becomes President. The compact takes effect when states representing a majority of the electoral votes have joined, and any state can withdraw under specific conditions. The bill also defines key terms like "chief election official" and "presidential slate" for clarity.
