AN ACT WITHDRAWING CONNECTICUT FROM THE NATIONAL POPULAR VOTE INTERSTATE COMPACT.
HB 5158 would withdraw Connecticut from the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact, ending the state's commitment to award its electoral votes to the winner of the national popular vote. This bill repeals Connecticut's existing law (section 9-175a) that implemented the compact, meaning the state will no longer pledge its 7 electoral votes to the national popular vote winner. Consequently, Connecticut's electoral votes will continue to be allocated based on the winner of the state's own popular vote in presidential elections. The bill directly affects how Connecticut's electoral votes are cast in future presidential contests.
