HB270 allows Pennsylvania to join the Agreement Among the States to Elect the President by National Popular Vote. This agreement mandates that each member state conduct a statewide popular election for President and Vice President. The presidential electors are appointed based on the national popular vote total. The agreement takes effect when states with a majority of electoral votes enact it. Pennsylvania's chief election official must release vote counts to the public and notify other states of the agreement's enactment or withdrawal.
