This bill proposes the withdrawal of Minnesota from the Agreement Among the States to Elect the President by National Popular Vote. It amends Minnesota Statutes 2024, section 208.05, to remove references to the agreement, specifically eliminating the provisions that dictate how presidential electors are appointed under the agreement. The State Canvassing Board will now declare the candidates for presidential electors based solely on the votes cast, without the influence of the national popular vote agreement. Additionally, the bill includes a directive for the governor to inform other states of Minnesota's withdrawal from the agreement.

Furthermore, the bill repeals Minnesota Statutes 2024, sections 208.051 and 208.052, which previously established the framework for the national popular vote agreement and its precedence over conflicting state laws. The repeal signifies a complete withdrawal from the agreement and a return to the traditional electoral process for appointing presidential electors in Minnesota.
