Overview: HB 25-1102, Repeal National Popular Vote Compact
Status: House Committee on State, Civic, Military, & Veterans Affairs Postpone Indefinitely
Introduced: January 27, 2025
Purpose and Intent:
The bill seeks to repeal Colorado's participation in the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact (NPVIC), an agreement among states to award their electoral votes to the presidential candidate who wins the national popular vote, rather than the candidate who wins the state's popular vote.
Key Provisions:
- Repeals the law that enacted Colorado's participation in the NPVIC
- Requires the state's electoral votes to be awarded to the candidate who wins the popular vote in Colorado, rather than the national popular vote winner
Affected Parties and Impacts:
The bill would impact the way Colorado's electoral votes are allocated in presidential elections, potentially shifting the state's influence in the Electoral College. Supporters argue it would better reflect the will of Colorado voters, while opponents contend it undermines the principle of the national popular vote.
Procedural and Timeline Considerations:
The bill was introduced in the House and referred to the State, Civic, Military, & Veterans Affairs Committee, where it was postponed indefinitely. This effectively ends the bill's progress for the current legislative session.
