Designation and election of presidential electors provided, and Minnesota withdrawn from the Agreement Among the States to Elect the President by National Popular Vote.

HF 898 withdraws Minnesota from the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact, a multi-state agreement that would have awarded the state's presidential electors based on the national popular vote. The bill amends Minnesota election law to revert to the state's existing method for selecting presidential electors: candidates are nominated by party conventions and elected based on congressional district and statewide vote totals, rather than the national popular vote. This change directly affects how Minnesota's 10 presidential electors are chosen in future elections. The bill repeals Minnesota Statutes sections 208.051 and 208.052, which had implemented the compact.
