Each state is allocated a certain number of “electoral votes” based on its representation in Congress (the total of its Senate and House seats). There are 538 total electoral votes, and a candidate needs a majority of at least 270 electoral votes to win the presidency.

When voters cast their ballots for president, they are actually voting for a slate of electors pledged to their candidate. These electors then cast the formal votes for president and vice president in December. The candidate with the majority of electoral votes (270 or more) becomes the next president.
