AN ACT APPORTIONING THE STATE'S ELECTORAL COLLEGE VOTES FOR PRESIDENT AND VICE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES.

HB 5681 proposes changing how Connecticut allocates its 7 Electoral College votes for president and vice president. Currently, the state awards all votes to the candidate winning statewide. This bill would instead allocate two electoral votes to the statewide winner and one vote per congressional district to the candidate winning in each of Connecticut's five districts. The change would directly affect how Connecticut's presidential election results are counted and reported. The bill remains pending in the Government Administration and Elections Committee.
