Electors are apportioned to states following the decennial U.S. Census, which occurs every ten years. The apportionment is based on the population of each state relative to the total U.S. population, as determined by the Census results. This process is crucial as it impacts the distribution of electoral votes used in presidential elections, with each state receiving a number of electors equal to its total number of Senators and Representatives in Congress. The new apportionment becomes effective for the presidential election that occurs after the Census.
