∙ 11y agoThe candidate must receive the votes for president from an absolute majority (more than half) of the electors appointed for that election, which is at least 270 votes when the current maximum of 538 electors is appointed. If nobody receives more than half of the electoral votes, the candidate must be in the top three of electoral vote recipients and must receive the votes of an absolute majority of the state coalitions in the U.S. House of Representatives (each state has one vote in this situation, so an absolute majority with 50 or 51 states is at least 26 votes). If nobody receives more than half of the votes, the House vote is repeated until somebody does.
