S 1735 New Jersey Senate · 2026-2027 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 "Agreement Among the States to Elect the President by National Popular Vote" (National Popular Vote Compact). It removes all statutory references to the agreement, returning New Jersey's electoral vote allocation to its current winner-take-all system based on the state's popular vote. The key mechanism is deleting provisions that would have required New Jersey's electoral votes to align with the national popular vote winner when participating states collectively held a majority of electoral votes. This change affects how New Jersey allocates its 14 electoral votes in presidential elections, ensuring they go to the candidate winning the state's popular vote rather than the national popular vote. The bill does not alter the state's voting system but ends its legal commitment to the national popular vote compact.
