S 3649 New Jersey Senate · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Repeals the "Agreement Among the States to Elect the President by National Popular Vote."

This bill repeals New Jersey's participation in the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact, which would have required the state to award its electoral votes to the presidential candidate who won the national popular vote rather than the candidate who won New Jersey's popular vote. The compact, adopted through state law in 2007, would have changed how New Jersey allocates its 14 electoral votes in presidential elections. By repealing this agreement, New Jersey would return to its current practice of awarding all electoral votes to the candidate who wins the state's popular vote. The bill amends several sections of state law to remove references to the compact, ensuring the state's electoral process aligns with its current winner-take-all system.
