1.21each presidential slate in each state of the United States and in the District of Columbia
1.22in which votes have been cast in a statewide popular election and shall add such votes
1.23together to produce a "national popular vote total" for each presidential slate. The chief
1.24election official of each member state shall designate the presidential slate with the largest
1.25national popular vote total as the "national popular vote winner." The presidential elector
1.26certifying official of each member state shall certify the appointment in that official's own

2.14in association with the national popular vote winner is less than or greater than that state's
2.15number of electoral votes, the presidential candidate on the presidential slate that has been

2.18shall certify the appointment of such nominees. The chief election official of each member

2.21electors in each member state in any year in which this agreement is, on July 20, in effect
2.22in states cumulatively possessing a majority of the electoral votes.
2.24This agreement shall take effect when states cumulatively possessing a majority of
2.25the electoral votes have enacted this agreement in substantially the same form and the
2.26enactments by such states have taken effect in each state. Any member state may withdraw
2.27from this agreement, except that a withdrawal occurring six months or less before the end
2.28of a president's term shall not become effective until a president or vice president shall
2.29have been qualified to serve the next term. The chief executive of each member state shall
2.30promptly notify the chief executive of all other states of when this agreement has been
2.31enacted and has taken effect in that official's state, when the state has withdrawn from this
2.32agreement, and when this agreement takes effect generally. This agreement shall terminate
