As of April 13, 2026, the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact has been enacted into law in 19 jurisdictions possessing 222 electoral votes, including
- 6 small jurisdictions (Delaware, Hawaii, Maine, Rhode Island, Vermont, and the District of Columbia),
- 10 medium-sized states (Colorado, Connecticut, Maryland, Massachusetts, Minnesota, New Jersey, New Mexico, Oregon, Virginia, and Washington), and
- 3 big states (California, Illinois, and New York).
These 19 jurisdictions are shown in green on the map below. On the map, each square represents one electoral vote (out of 538).
The National Popular Vote Interstate Compact will take effect when enacted into law by states possessing 270 electoral votes (a majority of the 538 electoral votes). That is, the Compact will take effect when enacted by states possessing an additional 48 electoral votes. 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.
