NPVIC Status

State UpdatesNovember 2020 - Washington was the 5th State to join this dangerous Agreement. It is a State whose government has firmly committed to giving away the control of WASHINGTON's 12 Electoral Votes to people who are not related to Washington at all. The first time that the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact scheme was introduced in Washington, legislators and the Governor jumped at the the chance to join it. Governor Gregoire signed the Bill in April 2009. Given who the elected officials are in Washington State, we don't expect the State to drop out of the National Popular Vote scheme in the near term. |
