Repeals the "Agreement Among the States to Elect the President by National Popular Vote."
This bill repeals New Jersey's participation in the "Agreement Among the States to Elect the President by National Popular Vote" (a component of the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact). It removes all references to this agreement from New Jersey law, ending the state's commitment to allocate its electoral votes to the national popular vote winner if enough states joined the compact. The repeal reverts New Jersey to its current system where electoral votes are awarded to the candidate winning the state's popular vote (winner-takes-all). This change affects how New Jersey's 14 electoral votes would be cast in presidential elections, ensuring they align with the state's voting results rather than a national popular vote. The bill is pending legislative action as of its introduction on January 13, 2026.
