Frequently Asked Questions
- How does the US Electoral College work?
- Each state receives electoral votes equal to its total Congressional representation — the number of House seats plus its 2 Senate seats. Washington D.C. receives 3 electoral votes under the 23rd Amendment. With 538 total electoral votes, a candidate must win at least 270 to become President.
- Why do Maine and Nebraska split their electoral votes?
- Maine and Nebraska use the congressional district method rather than a winner-take-all system. Two electoral votes go to the statewide popular vote winner, and one vote goes to the winner of each congressional district. Maine has 2 districts (4 total EV) and Nebraska has 3 districts (5 total EV). Enable the Split toggle in the settings panel to assign each district individually.
- What happens if no candidate reaches 270 electoral votes?
- If neither candidate reaches 270 — for example in a 269–269 tie — the election is decided by the House of Representatives. Each state delegation casts one collective vote, so whichever candidate wins a majority of state delegations becomes President. The Senate separately elects the Vice President in this scenario.
- How many electoral votes does each state have?
- Electoral votes are based on the 2020 Census apportionment, in effect from 2024 through 2032. Large states like California (54), Texas (40), and Florida (30) carry the most. Seven states plus D.C. hold the minimum of 3 votes: Alaska, Delaware, Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota, Vermont, and Wyoming. Click any state on the map to see its count in the label.
