How are electoral votes calculated?
Electoral votes are calculated based on the number of senators and representatives each state has. Each state has a total number of electoral votes equal to the sum of its senators and representatives in the U.S. Congress. The candidate who wins the popular vote in a state typically receives all of that state's electoral votes. The candidate who reaches at least 270 out of 538 total electoral votes wins the presidential election.
How many electoral votes are needed to elect a United states president?
270 electoral votes in the Electoral College are needed to win the U.S. presidency. Each state has electoral votes equal to the total of the 2 representative the state has in the U.S. Senate plus the number of representative the state has in the House of Representatives. Since every state has two senators and at least one representative to the House, every state has at least 3 electoral votes. The District of Columbia gets 3 electoral votes. Therefore, the total number of electoral votes is 538 - 100 (senators) + 435 (representatives) + 3 (for DC). A majority is 270 - one more than half of the total number of 538.
