This bill proposes that Minnesota withdraw from the Agreement Among the States to Elect the President by National Popular Vote and return to appointing presidential electors based solely on state election results.

Key Points:

1. Nomination of Electors:

   • Presidential electors and alternates will be nominated by the major political parties at conventions run by their respective state central committees.
   • Each party will nominate one elector per congressional district and two at-large electors for the state.
   • The party must certify the names of the electors, alternates, and presidential/vice-presidential candidates to the Secretary of State at least 71 days before the general election.

2. Election and Canvassing Process:

   • The State Canvassing Board will count votes and declare electors based on the overall state vote total for at-large electors and individual congressional district results to decide district electors.
   • If an exact tie occurs among electors, the Secretary of State will break the tie by lot.

3. Withdrawal from the National Popular Vote Compact:

   • Minnesota will officially withdraw from the Agreement Among the States to Elect the President by National Popular Vote.
   • The Governor will notify other states in the agreement of the withdrawal.
   • This repeals Minnesota Statutes 208.051 and 208.052, which were the legal foundation for the state's participation in the compact.

By repealing these statutes and revising Minnesota’s election process for presidential electors, this bill ensures that Minnesota allocates its electoral votes based only on state election results, rather than the national popular vote.
