In Indiana, the electoral college electors are chosen by the political parties during their state conventions. Each party nominates a slate of electors equal to the number of congressional representatives Indiana has, which is currently 11. When citizens cast their votes in the presidential election, the candidate who receives the majority of the popular vote in the state typically has their electors pledged to vote for them in the Electoral College. These electors formally cast their votes for president and vice president during a meeting in December following the election.
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 9 members of the U.S. House of Representatives from Indiana. Therefore, Indiana has 11 electoral votes.
