The National Popular Vote reveals how America can finally elect its President by the will of the voters nationwide, without changing the Constitution or abolishing the Electoral College.

The National Popular Vote is not about parties or candidates. It is about voters.
It exists for one reason: to ensure that in selecting a President, every vote counts equally, nationwide–thereby fulfilling the core democratic principle of One Person–One Vote.

States that pass a law to opt-in to the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact agree that when states totaling 270 electoral votes have opted-in, each of those states will cast their own state's electoral votes for the candidate who wins the most popular votes nationwide.

That voting block (the states in purple) of at least 270 electoral votes means the candidate they vote for will win the electoral college and the presidency.

They are not agreeing to vote for a party, but for the candidate who receives the most individual votes nationwide.
