Bill > S1681

This bill repeals the "Agreement Among the States to Elect the President by National Popular Vote," which was a law that New Jersey had previously joined. This agreement aimed to ensure that the candidate who won the national popular vote would win the presidency, even if they didn't win the Electoral College. By repealing this agreement, New Jersey is withdrawing from this effort and reverting to the traditional method of electing the president, where electors are chosen based on the popular vote within each state, and these electors then cast their votes in the Electoral College. The bill amends existing laws related to the certification of electors and the process for filling vacancies in the Electoral College to remove any references to this agreement.
