Fix the broken Electoral College! Pass National Popular Vote

State Legislators

Many Americans are outraged that in two of the past six elections, the presidential candidate who won the most popular votes lost the election. And every presidential election, candidates are forced to only compete in a handful of swing states -- effectively ignoring voters in every other state in the union.

The winner-take-all Electoral College system must be changed so that voters in all 50 states have a say in choosing our president.

Here’s how to do it: states can decide how they award their electoral votes, so if enough require their electors to vote for the winner of the nationwide popular vote (instead of who won in that state), it would fix the problems of the Electoral College without needing to amend the Constitution.

This National Popular Vote compact wouldn’t take effect until enough states joined in, but we’re closer to that than you might think -- 15 states and the District of Columbia have already signed on, totaling 196 electoral votes of the needed 270.

Activating the National Popular Vote compact would reshape our democracy for the better. Not only would it ensure that the person who actually got more votes win the presidency, but it would also force candidates to spend time engaging with voters in all 50 states, instead of just a handful swing states.

Please add your name today and urge lawmakers in your state to join the National Popular Vote compact.

Whoever wins the most votes nationwide should be elected President of the United States. States must pass the National Popular Vote compact and reform the outdated, anti-democratic Electoral College.
