How many electoral votes does each state have?

Each state gets at least three, while states with larger populations get more. The District of Columbia gets three but has no voting members in Congress.

Following the 2020 U.S. Census, congressional redistricting occurred. Six states gained at least one additional seat, while seven states lost one seat.

California has the most electoral votes with 54, while Texas has the second most with 40 electoral votes.

There are six states with only three electoral votes each: Alaska, Delaware, North Dakota, South Dakota, Vermont and Wyoming, as well as Washington, DC

Texas won two electoral votes in 2024. In the 2020 election there were only 38.

According to the National Archives, “All states except Maine and Nebraska follow a winner-takes-all policy, with the state paying attention only to the overall winner of the statewide popular vote. However, Maine and Nebraska appoint individual electors based on the winner of the popular vote in each congressional district and then two “at-large electors” based on the winner of the overall statewide popular vote.”

It is rare for a split vote to occur, but it occurred in Nebraska in 2008 and 2020 and in Maine in 2016 and 2020.
