Sign the petition to all state lawmakers and governors: Join the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact
All state legislators and governors in states that have not joined the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact
Update April 14, 2026: Virginia has officially joined the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact. Now, states (and D.C.) totaling 222 electoral votes have joined, bringing us only 48 electoral votes from electing the president by national popular vote.
Did you know there is a way to elect the president by national popular vote without an amendment to the Constitution? It's called the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact, or NPVIC for short.
The National Popular Vote Interstate Compact is a legally binding agreement between states to award their electoral votes to the winner of the national popular vote. It is passed through state laws, not federal laws or constitutional amendments. Interstate compacts are 100% constitutional, and over 250 of them are active today.
The National Popular Vote Interstate Compact only goes into effect once states totaling 270 or more electoral votes have joined the compact by July 20 in the year of the next presidential election. Right now, that means by July 20, 2028.
