The number of electors each state has in the Electoral College is equal to the total number of its Senators and Representatives in Congress. Every state has two Senators, while the number of Representatives is based on the state's population as determined by the most recent census. Therefore, states with larger populations have more electoral votes, while less populous states have at least three electors (two Senators and at least one Representative). This system ensures that both population and equal state representation are considered in the presidential election process.
