The 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 provisions that previously allowed the State Canvassing Board to declare presidential electors based on the national popular vote agreement. Specifically, the bill deletes language that required the board to follow the agreement when determining the election of presidential electors and alternates, as well as the stipulation that no drawing of lots would be conducted if the agreement was in effect.

Additionally, the bill includes a directive for the governor to inform other states of Minnesota's withdrawal from the agreement and repeals Minnesota Statutes 2024, sections 208.051 and 208.052, which outlined the agreement's provisions and its precedence over conflicting state laws. This legislative action signifies a shift back to the traditional electoral process for appointing presidential electors in Minnesota, moving away from the national popular vote framework.
