Each State is different. It depends on the number of Representatives the state has, which is based on the U.S. Census every 10 years. You take the number of Representatives you state has and add it with the 2 senators. So if your state had 13 representatives then it would have 15 electors. D.C. has 3

∙ 6y agoEach 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 U.S. House of Representatives. The District of Columbia gets 3 electoral votes. Therefore, the total number of electoral votes is 538 - 100 (senators) + 435 (representatives) +3 (for DC).
Based on the 2010 Census the electoral votes by state are: Alabama - 9, Alaska - 3, Arizona - 11, Arkansas - 6, California - 55, Colorado -9, Connecticut - 7, Delaware - 3, District of Columbia - 3, Florida - 29, Georgia - 16, Hawaii - 4, Idaho - 4, Illinois - 20, Indiana - 11, Iowa - 6, Kansas - 6, Kentucky - 8, Louisiana - 8, Maine - 4, Maryland - 10, Massachusetts - 11, Michigan - 16, Minnesota - 10, Mississippi - 6, Missouri - 10, Montana - 3, Nebraska - 5, Nevada - 6, New Hampshire 4 , New Jersey - 14, New Mexico - 5, New York - 29, North Carolina - 15, North Dakota - 3, Ohio - 18, Oklahoma - 7, Oregon - 7, Pennsylvania - 20, Rhode Island - 4, South Carolina - 9, South Dakota - 3, Tennessee - 11, Texas - 38, Utah - 6, Vermont - 3, Virginia - 13, Washington - 12, West Virginia - 5, Wisconsin - 10, and Wyoming - 3.

What is the minimum number of electors?
If the minimum elector is 3 at the least (Washington DC and some small states), that 3 represents the elector for the winning party only. Does the losing party have their electors also but is not capable of electing the president since their candidate lose in the popular vote of that state? Should it be safe to say 6 electors each at the minimum?
