The number of representative in the U.S. House of Representatives is fixed at 435. Every 10 years the U.S. Census Bureau takes a census of the population in each state. The 435 representatives in the U.S. House of Representatives is then reapportioned among the 50 states based on the population in each state. Based on the 2010 Census California currently has 53 representatives in the U.S. House of Representatives. The next U.S. Census will be taken in 2020. Based on the results of the 2020 Census, the number of representatives from California could change.

A large population shift , say from one state to another, could result a change in the number of Representatives between those two states. The state that loses population could lose a number of Representatives. A state that gains population could receive additional Representatives. The number of Representatives each state has is based on its population, but Congress has authorized only 435 members of the House of Representatives. Therefore, if there is no significant increase in population, and if Congress does not authorize more Representatives, a simple shift of existing population from one state to another will only result in a shift of the number of authorized Representatives from one state to the other.
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.
