Proposing an amendment to the Constitution of the United States providing that the Senate is made more representative by adding twelve Senators to be elected using a national popular vote, and providing for twelve Electors at-large for President and Vice-President, who shall cast their ballots for the respective winners of the national popular vote.

# Summary of HJRES 102 This proposed constitutional amendment would make two major changes to how Americans are represented in government. First, it would add 12 new senators to the Senate (bringing the total from 100 to 112), elected through a nationwide popular vote rather than by individual states. Second, it would add 12 new electoral votes for presidential elections that would automatically go to whoever wins the national popular vote.

The goal is to give more weight to the overall will of all voters nationwide, rather than having representation tied primarily to individual states. The bill would affect all Americans by potentially changing how presidential and Senate elections work. It would impact voters in less populous states (which currently have proportionally more Senate representation) and could alter the significance of swing states in presidential races. However, this is a constitutional amendment proposal, which means it cannot become law unless it passes both chambers of Congress with two-thirds majorities and is then ratified by three-fourths of state legislatures—a very high bar that makes passage unlikely. **Current Status:** The bill is currently in committee and has not advanced further in the legislative process.
