Clarifies the process for appointing presidential electors in Michigan under a national popular vote agreement.

It details the responsibilities of the governor and the board of state canvassers in certifying the appointment of electors, including issuing certificates of ascertainment, conducting recounts, and communicating with other states. The bill also outlines the procedures for expedited canvasses and recounts, and the conditions under which a superseding certificate of ascertainment may be issued.
