NPVIC Status - NORTH DAKOTA
We SUPPORT SB-2271 !
Senate Bill SB-2271 has PASSED the State Senate! It would be effective if the NPVIC is in effect among other States. It would withhold North Dakota's popular vote totals until AFTER the Electoral College meets, thus denying the NPV Compact popular vote totals it requires from all States.
The only time NPVIC legislation has been introduced in North Dakota was in January 2017. Both Senate and House bills died without any movement on them.

April 14, 2021 - The House made some pretty dramatic changes to the, basically eliminating the part about withholding the popular vote total, and instead, the House would simply issue a statement that they thing the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact is unwise, urging Congress to (somehow) act to stop it. The bill went back to the Senate, which just voted to reject the House-passed version. The Bill versions - which are wildly different - now goes to a Conference Committee for an attempt at reconciliation. March 8, 2012 - The Senate-passed SB-2271 has been assigned, now, to the House Government and Veterans Affairs Committee. February 28, 2021 - GREAT NEWS! Bill SB-2271 has PASSED the Senate! It now moves to the House. URGE the North Dakota House to PASS this great bill! Check out this Blog Post about the passage of SB-2271. REMEMBER, that the Bill is ONLY in effect if and when the dreaded National Popular Vote Interstate Compact scheme is in effect in OTHER States!! Bill formalizing the State's OPPOSITION to the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact scheme. Introduced by Reps. Dennis Johnson & Wayne Trottier and in the Senate by Sens. Robert Erbele, Dick Dever & Curt Kreun On January 19th, SB-2271 was introduced by 3 Senators - Robert Eberle, Dick Dever and Curtiss Kreun, and in the House by Reps Dennis Johnson and Wayne Trottier. If enacted, this bill would be in effect only when and if the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact scheme is in effect in other States. SB-2271 is now in the Gov't & Veterans Affairs Committee. The legislation would simply have North Dakota's popular vote totals not disclosed publicly until after the Electoral College meets in Presidential Elections. This move seeks to deny popular vote totals from all 50 States that the NPVIC backers claim that is required for their scheme to work. There is a major push from the California-based National Popular Vote office in 2021 in multiple States, however they are likely to spare North Dakota as they move on Purple States first in 2021, where they believe they have a better chance of winning. Because of North Dakota's current State government make-up and the pretty strong feelings of independence and States' Rights believed in by most North Dakotans, we feel that ND is a sound and solid Electoral College State, not likely at risk of joining the dangerous NPVIC collusion contract. We would ENCOURAGE the enactment of SB-2271, and similar legislation, in those States deciding NOT to collude with other States to agree to vote in one particular manner prior to the actual election of the President.
