Bill Summary
To withdraw the state from the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact.
AI Summary
This bill seeks to withdraw Connecticut from the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact (NPVIC) by repealing section 9-175a of the state's general statutes. The National Popular Vote Interstate Compact is an agreement among multiple states that would effectively change how presidential elections are conducted by pledging a state's electoral votes to the candidate who wins the national popular vote, rather than the candidate who wins that state's popular vote. By repealing this section of law, Connecticut would no longer be a participant in the compact, which means the state would return to awarding its electoral college votes based on its own state-level election results. The bill is straightforward in its approach, using a simple legislative mechanism of statute repeal to achieve its policy goal of removing the state from the NPVIC.
