Bill Summary
An Act authorizing the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania to join the Agreement Among the States to Elect the President by National Popular Vote; and providing for the form of the agreement.
AI Summary
This bill authorizes Pennsylvania to join the Agreement Among the States to Elect the President by National Popular Vote, a pact among states to award their electoral votes to the presidential candidate who wins the national popular vote, regardless of who wins the popular vote within their own state. The agreement, which will only take effect once states collectively holding a majority of electoral votes have joined, outlines how each member state will conduct its statewide popular election for President and Vice President, determine the national popular vote winner, and appoint presidential electors accordingly. It also defines key terms like "chief election official" and "presidential slate" and includes provisions for withdrawal from the agreement and its termination if the Electoral College is abolished.
