On February 29, the Connecticut Joint Committee on Government Administration and Election took testimony on HB 6018, the National Popular Vote Plan bill. 25 people testified in favor, and no one testified against. Secretary of State Susan Bysiewicz testified in favor.

A news report about the bill said that the plan would not go into effect until 25 states had ratified it. That is not correct. If the eleven most populous states ratified it, it would have the required electoral college majority and would take effect.
