LD 1373 Maine House · 132nd Legislature (2025-2026)

An Act To Repeal The National Popular Vote Compact

LD 1373 repeals Maine's participation in the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact, which would have awarded the state's presidential electors to the candidate winning the national popular vote. This bill removes the legal provision requiring Maine to follow the compact, reverting to Maine's standard system where electors are awarded based on the statewide popular vote (or by congressional district for two electors). Key changes include repealing specific sections of election law that implemented the compact and updating the Governor's duty to certify electors based on ranked-choice tabulation results. The bill directly affects how Maine's 4 presidential electors are selected in future elections.
