The National Popular Vote Interstate Compact

Making Every Vote Count supports the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact, an agreement between states to elect the President by National Popular Vote.

In 2007, Maryland became the first state to pass the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact. The state has agreed to allocate its Presidential electors to the winner of the national popular vote once enough states to win the Electoral College (270 electoral votes) join the Compact.

The Compact has been Pioneered by Dr. John R. Koza, co-founder of National Popular Vote Inc. (NPV) and lead author of Every Vote Equal: A State-Based Plan for Electing the President by National Popular Vote.  Dr. Koza first proposed the Compact in the 2006 edition of Every Vote Equal, and over the past decade, NPV and its allies have passionately advocated for its passage.  Through their efforts to date, ten states and the District of Columbia have joined the Compact. This totals 165 electoral votes -- about 60% of the electoral votes needed. 

If states totaling an additional 105 Electoral Votes pass the Compact, we change how America elects the President.
