Bill > HB1102

This bill repeals Colorado's participation in the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact, which was a state agreement designed to award a state's electoral votes to the winner of the national popular vote rather than the winner of the state's popular vote. Specifically, the bill completely removes Part 40 of Article 60 in Title 24 of Colorado Revised Statutes, which previously codified the state's participation in this interstate compact. The bill also amends a related statute about false slates of presidential electors by removing language specific to the National Popular Vote Compact. Under the current compact, if enough states joined to collectively represent a majority of electoral votes, those states would pledge to award their electoral votes to the candidate who wins the most votes nationwide, regardless of the individual state's election results. By repealing this law, Colorado would return to the traditional method of awarding its electoral votes based on the state-level election outcome. The bill includes a standard provision allowing for a potential referendum, meaning the repeal could be subject to voter approval in the November 2026 general election if a petition is filed challenging the legislation.
