National Popular Vote is a non‑profit advocacy organization that promotes adoption of the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact (NPVIC), a mechanism under which participating states pledge their electoral votes to the presidential candidate who receives the most popular votes nationwide once enough states join to total 270 electoral votes. The group’s stated mission is to ensure the winner of the national popular vote becomes President without requiring a constitutional amendment.
Advocates state legislation to join the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact and related changes to state elector‑allocation laws; focuses on Electoral College reform, presidential selection rules, and broader democratic representation and voting‑system reforms at the state level.
Primarily funded by private donations and philanthropic contributions, with significant early and ongoing financial support from private backers associated with the campaign to enact the interstate compact.
State‑level chapters and legislative outreach teams, allied civic and pro‑democracy groups, and prominent founders/supporters associated with the campaign (including the organization’s founder and principal backers).
