The status of NPV

The National Popular Vote interstate compact (NPV) is state legislation designed to nullify the Electoral College without changing the Constitution. It has a “trigger”—NPV takes effect if passed by enough states that they control a majority of electoral votes (270 out of 538) and thus the outcome of presidential elections.

Eighteen states and DC have passed NPV, with a total of 222 electoral votes (as of July 2024). It has passed at least one chamber in seven other states and has been introduced in every state.
