Mapping The Number of Electoral College Votes by State 🗳️

What We're Showing

The number of electoral college votes by state for the 2024 presidential election, as well as which states saw changes to their number of votes since 2020.

Data is current as of October 2024 and comes from the U.S. National Archives and Records Administration.

How Electoral Colleges Work

The electoral college is a process where electors from each state cast votes to determine the President and Vice President of the United States, rather than these offices being elected directly by popular vote. Electors are individuals appointed by each state to cast votes in the Electoral College.

Each state has a number of electors that is equal to the total number of representatives and senators it has in Congress.

There are 538 electors in total, and a candidate needs a simple majority of 270 votes to win.

This means a candidate can win the election without winning the popular vote, as seen in Donald Trump's 2016 victory over Hillary Clinton, where Clinton won over 2.8 million more votes than Trump.

Changes in Swing States' Electoral Votes

There are seven swing states in this year's election: Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin.

North Carolina gained one more electoral vote since 2020 and Pennsylvania lost one. Pennsylvania is slated to be one of the most important swing states in this year's election, especially as it remains one of the largest states by electoral vote count.
