The NPVIC changes how the [[Electoral College]] chooses the [[president of the United States]]. The states agree to give all their votes in the Electoral College to the person with the most [[vote]]s from regular people in the whole country. The agreement makes sure the person with the most votes from regular people will become president. When the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact can really make that happen, the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact will start working.<ref>{{cite web|title=National Popular Vote|url=http://www.ncsl.org/research/elections-and-campaigns/national-popular-vote.aspx|website=National Conference of State Legislatures|publisher=NCSL|access-date=November 9, 2015|date=March 11, 2015|archive-date=December 17, 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/2015121
