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.
This bill authorizes Pennsylvania to join the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact, an agreement among states to award all their electoral votes to the presidential candidate who wins the most popular votes nationwide. The law takes effect only when enough participating states collectively hold a majority of the Electoral College votes, ensuring the current system remains in place until the compact is fully active. If the agreement is triggered, Pennsylvania's chief election official would count statewide popular votes to determine the national winner and certify the corresponding slate of electors. The legislation also includes provisions for state withdrawal, definitions of key terms, and requirements for public transparency in vote counting.
