National Popular Vote


The League of Women Voters believes that the President of the United States should be elected as is every other local, state and national public official—by popular vote.  For that reason, the League is working to enact the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact (NPVIC), a bill by which states would direct their electors to vote for the Presidential candidate who captures the most votes nationwide.


We oppose the “winner-take-all rule” that invalidates the votes of millions of Americans in 48 states, including Florida.  We advocate for using the two provisions of the U.S. Constitution that give states exclusive control over directing their electors and encourages them to enter into interstate compacts, thus preserving state control over national elections. “Winner-take-all” does not appear in the Constitution, nor was it ever debated by the Founders. Electing the president by popular vote has received support from conservatives, including President Trump, to liberals and the majority of American voters, including Floridians.


We support the NPVIC which moves us closer to one person/one vote and ensures that every voter in every state is relevant in every presidential election—making every vote count.

What is NPV?



Each state legislature has the ability to define how its electors vote. The National Popular Vote Interstate Compact is an agreement among states to assign their Electoral College votes to the candidate who receives the most popular votes in all 50 states and the District of Columbia (Explanation).



National News


The 2024 general election campaign for President was concentrated in just seven (7) closely divided states which make up less than 20% of the U.S. population. In other words, 80% of Americans were mere spectators to the 2024 presidential election.

In May 2025, there was an effort in Maine to pull the state out of the NPV Compact - but it was defeated in the Maine Senate. A good sign for the future.



State News


Mainstreet Research of Florida Atlantic University recently released the results of a survey that found 57% of Florida voters think the President should be elected by popular vote as compared with 37% who favor the Electoral College, and 6% were unsure.
