HCR 6013 South Dakota House · 2025 Regular Session

Supporting the Electoral College, denouncing the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact, and inviting interested states to form the Electoral College Interstate Compact.

This bill proposes creating a formal agreement among states to support the Electoral College system and reject the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact. It invites states to join an Electoral College Interstate Compact to ensure the Electoral College remains the method for electing the President and Vice President. The legislation directly affects state legislators and state governments by establishing a framework for inter-state cooperation on election procedures. The bill does not change the current voting process but seeks to strengthen the existing Electoral College system through a formal interstate agreement.
