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 7 members of the U.S. House of Representatives from Alabama. Therefore, Alabama has 9 electoral votes.
