Rhode Island H7783 repeals the state's participation in an interstate compact for national popular vote elections for President and Vice President.

Rhode Island H7783 repeals the state's participation in an interstate compact that would allow Presidents and Vice Presidents to be elected by a national popular vote rather than the electoral college. The bill removes the legal framework for Rhode Island to join this agreement, which mandates statewide popular elections for presidential candidates and the appointment of electors based on the national popular vote. The compact would take effect when states with a majority of electoral votes enact it, and it would terminate if the electoral college is abolished.
