Bill > SB0291

This bill establishes Michigan's participation in an interstate compact, known as the "Agreement Among the States to Elect the President by National Popular Vote," which aims to elect the President and Vice President of the United States based on the national popular vote rather than the current Electoral College system. Under this agreement, each participating state will conduct a statewide popular election for President and Vice President, and the chief election official in each member state will tally the votes from all participating states to determine the "national popular vote winner." The presidential electors in each member state will then be appointed to support the candidate who won the national popular vote, ensuring that the candidate with the most individual votes nationwide becomes President. This compact will take effect once states collectively holding a majority of the electoral votes have joined and enacted the agreement, and it will terminate if the Electoral College is abolished.
