Plain English Summary
AI-GENERATEDFlorida would join the National Popular Vote compact, agreeing that once enough states combine for a majority of electoral votes, each member state's electors go to whichever candidate wins the most popular votes nationwide.
Until states holding a majority of electoral votes have joined and the compact is in effect by July 20 of an election year, Florida keeps awarding its electors based on Florida's own statewide vote.
Member states must total national vote counts, certify electors for the national winner, and immediately release all vote counts to the public as they are determined.
A state may withdraw at any time except in the six months before a presidential term ends, and the compact ends entirely if the electoral college is abolished.
AIOnce the compact is active, requires each member state's electors to be certified for the presidential ticket that wins the most popular votes nationwide, regardless of which ticket won that state's own election.
AIDelays the elector-appointment rule until enough states have joined to hold a majority of electoral votes and the compact is in effect on July 20 of the election year; until then, states use their own statewide results as usual.
AIIf there is a tie for the national popular vote winner, each member state's electors instead go to whichever ticket received the most popular votes within that particular state.
AIIf a member state ends up nominating more or fewer elector candidates than its number of electoral votes, the presidential candidate who won the national popular vote gets to name that state's electors instead.
AILets a member state withdraw at any time, but blocks a withdrawal made six months or less before a presidential term ends until the next President or Vice President has qualified to serve.
