Designation and election provision of presidential electors
This bill changes how Minnesota selects presidential electors by requiring major political parties to nominate electors through state central committee conventions. It withdraws Minnesota from the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact, meaning the state will no longer automatically allocate its electoral votes to the national popular vote winner. The bill repeals previous provisions related to the compact and amends election statutes to specify that electors are chosen based on congressional district and statewide vote totals, rather than national popular vote outcomes. These changes directly affect Minnesota's presidential election process and the state's participation in interstate electoral agreements.
