PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION -- Amends and adds to existing law regarding the Agreement Among the States to Elect the President by National Popular Vote.

PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION

STATEMENT OF PURPOSE

This legislation provides that upon enactment, Idaho will join in an interstate compact awarding the state's electoral votes to the Presidential and Vice-Presidential candidates who win the most popular votes in all fifty states and the District of Columbia. This compact provides that Idaho would continue to allocate its electors as it does currently until a sufficient number of states enter the compact to amount to a majority of electoral college votes. The legislation preserves the Electoral College and Idaho's exclusive state power to allocate electors.
