Explaining the Electoral College: Apportionment

The Electoral College: 538 popularly elected representatives

How are the 538 Electors Chosen? Each state has a number of electors equal to the number of its Senators and Representatives in the United States Congress. Senators: 2 per state=2x50=100 Representatives: fixed at 435

438 Representatives? Not always fixed at 438 … the number used to grow with the U.S. population.

The number of representatives over time.

Permanent Apportionment Act of 1929 Established that, henceforth, the size of the House would be permanently fixed at “the then existing number of Representatives”. 435 representatives The way the 435 representatives are distributed between states is called apportionment.

Apportionment Distributing 435 representatives over 50 states and Wash D.C. The U.S. uses the equal proportions method. Also known as: Hill Huntington Method Somewhat complex. Based on the standard, lower and upper quotas per state.

# Representatives Very Accurately Proportional to Population Size
