The number of electors each state gets in the Electoral College is determined by the total number of its Congressional representatives, which includes both Senators and House members. Each state has two Senators, and the number of House representatives is based on the state's population as determined by the most recent decennial census. Therefore, the total number of electors for a state equals its two Senate votes plus its House votes. This allocation can change every ten years following the census, reflecting population shifts.
