What The population of Ohio determines the its total number of electoral votes?

The population of Ohio, like that of other states, determines its total number of electoral votes through the allocation of Congressional representation. Each state receives a number of electoral votes equal to its total number of Senators (always 2) plus its number of Representatives in the House, which is based on population. Following the 2020 Census, Ohio has 17 electoral votes, reflecting its population size and Congressional representation. This allocation can change every 10 years with the results of the Census.
