Bill > HB05682

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 (NPVIC). The National Popular Vote Interstate Compact is an agreement among U.S. states where participants pledge to award their electoral college votes to the winner of the national popular vote, regardless of which candidate wins in their individual state. By repealing this section of law, Connecticut would no longer be part of this compact, meaning the state would return to allocating its electoral votes using the traditional method, where electoral votes are typically awarded on a winner-take-all basis based on the state's own election results. The bill is straightforward in its purpose: to remove Connecticut from the NPVIC, effectively reverting to the state's previous electoral vote allocation method.
