Bill > S05478

This bill makes permanent the agreement among the states to elect the president by national popular vote, meaning that New York's participation in this agreement will no longer have an expiration date. The agreement, when adopted by enough states to collectively hold a majority of the electoral votes, would ensure that the candidate who wins the national popular vote becomes president, regardless of the outcome in individual states. Previously, this provision had an expiration date of December 31, 2018, and this bill removes that limitation, solidifying New York's commitment to this electoral reform.
