The number of electors for a state is determined by the population of the state. The number of electoral votes that a state gets is equal to the number of Representatives that a state has in the House of Representatives plus two (the number of Senators each state has in the Senate). The number of electors each state has is adjusted every ten years, following the national census.

Every state has a minimum of three electoral votes, because each state is allowed to appoint a number of electors equal to the total number of Senators and Representatives representing the state in the U.S. Congress, and every state has two Senators and at least one Representative. Also, although the District of Columbia does not have Congressional representation (since it is not a state), the U.S. Constitution has been amended to allow them to appoint a number of electors equal to the total number of Senators and Representatives they would have in Congress if they were a state or the same number of electors as the state with the lowest population, whichever is less. There is currently one state with a smaller population than that of D.C.: Wyoming.
