Bill > HB1481

This bill establishes a Presidential Electors Apportionment Task Force composed of ten members, including six legislators (two senators and two representatives from each party) and four representatives from civic organizations interested in elections. The task force's primary purpose is to study Nebraska's unique electoral vote allocation model, which divides presidential electoral votes between congressional district winners and an at-large state winner, and to recommend whether Indiana should adopt a similar system. The task force members will be appointed by legislative leadership, serve until November 1, 2025, and will be eligible for per diem and travel reimbursements. To make official recommendations, at least six members must be present, with voting restricted so that the civic organization representatives cannot vote on the final recommendation. The task force is required to submit an electronic report to the legislative council before November 1, 2025, detailing their findings and recommendations. The bill includes an emergency declaration and the task force will automatically expire on December 31, 2025. This study aims to explore potential alternatives to the current winner-take-all electoral vote allocation method used by most states.
