Bill > HB05359

This bill proposes to repeal section 9-175a of Connecticut's general statutes, which would effectively withdraw the state from the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact (NPV Compact). The National Popular Vote Interstate Compact is an agreement among states to award their electoral college votes to the candidate who wins the national popular vote, rather than the traditional method of awarding electoral votes based on the state's individual election results. By repealing the existing law that joined this compact, Connecticut would return to its previous method of allocating electoral votes. The bill is straightforward, with its primary purpose being to remove the state's participation in the NPV Compact, effectively maintaining the traditional Electoral College system for presidential elections in Connecticut.
