## Summary

**Adds twelve Senators elected at-large by a national popular vote.** This constitutional amendment would also create twelve at-large Presidential Electors and set national rules for how those Senators and Electors are chosen and administered. - Voters: U.S. citizens would cast nationwide votes for 12 at-large Senators and for the slate that determines the at-large Presidential Electors. The at-large Senators would be divided into three classes so one-third of those seats are up every two years. - State election officials: States would run the elections and tabulate ballots, but Congress would set procedures and a federal entity would collect and announce winners based on state counts. The article applies to U.S. territories and the District of Columbia. - Senate and Presidential system: Vacancies for at-large Senators are filled temporarily by the state executive authority from the same political party and may trigger a special election as Congress prescribes. Congress would appoint twelve at-large Presidential Electors who meet citizenship, age, and registration rules and who meet in the District to cast Electoral College votes based on national totals.
