Best Answer

The number of electoral votes for each state is equal to the sum of its number of Senators and its number of Representatives in the U.S. House of Representatives. Based on the 2010 Census, there are 2 members of the U.S. House of Representatives from Maine. Therefore, Maine has 4 electoral votes.

Maine use the "congressional district method", selecting one elector within each congressional district by popular vote and awarding two electors by a statewide popular vote. Maine's First congressional district and Second congressional district have 1 electoral vote each. Maine's remaining 2 electoral votes are awarded on a winner-take-all basis to whichever candidate receives a majority of the popular vote, or a plurality of the popular vote (less than 50 percent but more than any other candidate).
