Bill > HF898

This bill modifies Minnesota's laws regarding presidential electors and withdraws the state from the Agreement Among the States to Elect the President by National Popular Vote (NPV). The bill changes how presidential electors are nominated and elected by requiring each major political party to nominate one elector from each congressional district and two electors at-large, and mandates that party chairs provide more detailed information about elector nominations, including specifying whether electors are at-large or representing a specific congressional district. The State Canvassing Board will now determine election results by using statewide vote totals for at-large electors and district-specific vote totals for district electors. Significantly, the bill repeals Minnesota's previous statutes related to the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact, effectively withdrawing the state from that agreement. The governor is directed to inform other agreement states of Minnesota's withdrawal. By removing the NPV provisions, the bill ensures that Minnesota's presidential electors will continue to be allocated based on the state's traditional electoral process rather than a national popular vote method.
