The National Popular Vote(NPV) guarantees that the electoral college and the presidency will be won by the candidate who wins the most popular votes in all 50 states and DC. When enacted, NPV will apply the concept of “one person, one vote” to our presidential elections, making every voter politically relevant in every presidential election for the first time. LWVMI supports House Bill 4156 and Senate Bill 126, which would add Michigan’s 15 electoral votes to a growing number of states supporting National Popular Vote.

The League of Women Voters of Michigan urges the passage of SB 669 and SB 670 that would make the Legislature and the Governor subject to the Freedom of Information Act.

The League of Women Voters of Michigan urges our members to contact their elected officials in Lansing to pass House Bills 4156 and 4440. Doing so will give the Compact 220 of the 270 electoral college votes needed to implement the National Popular Vote.
