How does the Electoral College Calculator work?
The Electoral College is the group of electors, chosen state by state, who formally elect the US president and vice president.
There are 538 electors, and a candidate needs a majority of 270. Electoral votes by state follow the 2020 Census apportionment, which applies to the 2024, 2028 and 2032 elections.
Maine and Nebraska award two votes statewide and one per congressional district, so their split districts appear separately. The starting map shows the certified 2024 results. Change any state to build your own scenario.
If no candidate reaches 270, the House of Representatives chooses the president, with each state delegation casting one vote.
For example, the certified 2024 map gives the Republican candidate 312 electoral votes to the Democratic candidate's 226, so the Republican candidate wins with 42 votes to spare.
