Agreement Among the States to Elect the President by National Popular Vote; create.

HB 1009 would have required Mississippi to join the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact, an agreement where participating states pledge to award all electoral votes to the candidate winning the national popular vote. If enacted, Mississippi voters would have elected presidential electors based on the national popular vote total, not the state's vote, with state officials calculating and certifying the national winner. The bill specifically amended Mississippi election code to align with this process, directing chief election officials to determine the national popular vote winner and certify electors accordingly. This would have directly affected how Mississippi's 6 electoral votes are allocated in presidential elections, shifting from the current state-based system to one tied to the nationwide popular vote. The bill died in committee on February 4, 2025, and was never enacted.
