Virginia joins National Popular Vote compact, raising total to 222 electors
Member states must award electors to national popular vote winner once threshold reached
Change
Virginia enacted the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact, bringing total participating electors to 222 of the 270 required for activation.
Why it matters
If the compact reaches 270 electors, member states will be required to allocate electoral votes based on the national popular vote rather than state-level results.
Implications
- — Election outcome rules shift — state results no longer decisive
