Virginia Became the 19th State to Enact National Popular Vote for President

Published on 4/15/2026


The National Popular Vote Interstate Compact has now been enacted by 19 jurisdictions possessing 222 of the 270 electoral votes needed to activate it. They are shown in green on the map below.

Six additional states with 65 electoral votes (Arizona, Michigan, New Hampshire, Nevada, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin) are especially promising places for obtaining the 48 electoral votes needed before 2028. They are yellow on the map.

The National Popular Vote Compact will guarantee the Presidency to the candidate who receives the most popular votes in all 50 states and the District of Columbia.
