Bill Summary

To withdraw the state from the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact.

AI Summary

This bill proposes to repeal section 9-175a of Connecticut's general statutes, which would withdraw the state from the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact (NPVIC). The NPVIC is an agreement among multiple U.S. states where participants pledge to award their electoral college votes to the candidate who wins the national popular vote, rather than the candidate who wins their individual state. By repealing this section of law, Connecticut would no longer be part of this compact, effectively returning to the traditional method of awarding electoral votes based on state-level election results. The bill is straightforward in its intent to remove Connecticut from the NPVIC, with the sole purpose of canceling the state's participation in this alternative presidential election voting system.
