SJRES 121 United States Senate · 118th Congress

A joint resolution proposing an amendment to the Constitution of the United States to abolish the electoral college and to provide for the direct election of the President and Vice President of the United States.

SJRES 121 proposes a constitutional amendment to replace the Electoral College with direct popular voting for President and Vice President. The bill would require voters in every state and the District of Columbia to cast a single vote for a presidential-vice presidential pair, with the winning pair elected based on the most votes nationwide. It would abolish the current system where electors chosen by states cast votes, directly changing how the president is selected. The amendment would take effect one year after ratification by 38 states (three-fourths of all states). This change would affect all U.S. voters in presidential elections.
