Proposing to amend the Nevada Constitution to adopt the National Popular Vote Compact.

This bill, AJR6A, aims to change the Nevada Constitution by adopting the National Popular Vote Compact. This compact ensures that the President is elected based on the popular vote across all states, rather than through the current Electoral College system. If passed, Nevada would join other states in a collective agreement to award all its electoral votes to the candidate who wins the national popular vote.

This change would primarily affect the way Nevada participates in presidential elections. Instead of Nevada's electoral votes being decided by the popular vote within the state, they would be awarded based on the national popular vote. This could potentially influence the outcome of presidential elections by aligning Nevada’s electoral votes with the overall national popular vote.

The bill was introduced on February 3, 2025, and referred to the Committee on Legislative Operations and Elections. However, it ultimately failed on April 12, 2025, with no further action allowed per Joint Standing Rule No. 14.3.1. Key steps in its history include its introduction, referral to committee, and the final decision to not allow further action.
