Designation and election of presidential electors provided, and Minnesota withdrawn from the Agreement Among the States to Elect the President by National Popular Vote.
HF 70 withdraws Minnesota from the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact, a multi-state agreement that would have awarded the state's presidential electors based on the national popular vote winner. The bill amends Minnesota election law to remove the requirement to follow this compact, returning the process to the state's traditional method of selecting electors based on the winner of Minnesota's statewide popular vote. It repeals two specific sections of law (208.051 and 208.052) that implemented the compact's provisions. This change directly affects how Minnesota's presidential electors are chosen in future elections, aligning with the state's current electoral system.
