SF 720 Minnesota Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Agreement Among the States to Elect the President by National Popular vote withdrawal

Minnesota Senate Bill 720 withdraws Minnesota from the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact (NPVIC), a multi-state agreement to award presidential electors based on the national popular vote. The bill repeals Minnesota laws (208.051 and 208.052) that implemented the compact, ending the state's participation in the agreement. As a result, Minnesota will no longer commit to awarding its electoral votes to the national popular vote winner; instead, presidential electors will be chosen based on the state's own popular vote outcome. This change affects how Minnesota's presidential electors are selected in future elections, reverting to the state's standard electoral process.
