Summary

This proposed constitutional amendment introduces significant changes to the United States Senate by establishing twelve Senators at-large . These additional Senators would be elected for six-year terms through a national popular vote , with their seats divided equally among the three existing Senate classes. The amendment outlines that eligible electors must be US citizens aged 18 or older, registered, and meeting state voting requirements, extending these provisions to US territories and the District of Columbia. While states would administer these elections, Congress would define the procedures, and a federal entity would be responsible for collecting and tabulating the national popular vote results. Beyond the Senate, the amendment also proposes the creation of twelve Electors at-large for President and Vice-President, whose appointment method would be determined by Congress. Crucially, these Electors would be mandated to cast their ballots for the presidential and vice-presidential candidates who receive the greatest number of votes cast by citizens of the United States . This mechanism directly links a portion of the Electoral College to the national popular vote winner, aiming to ensure that the national popular vote is reflected in the presidential election outcome. Congress is granted the authority to enforce this entire article through appropriate legislation.
