what is the number of total presidential electoral votes?
538
the individual who wins a majority of the presidential electoral vote (270 of the 538 electoral votes) will win the presidential election. the current electoral vote distribution was determined by the 2010 census. each elector is chosen by the states and is charged with casting one vote for president and one vote for vice president. most states award all of their electoral votes to the individual who wins a majority or plurality of that state's popular vote, although two states award electors by congressional districts. if no individual wins a majority of the electoral vote, then the united states house of representatives will hold a contingent election to determine the winner. the vice president is selected in a similar manner, though a contingent election will be held in the united states senate if no individual receives a majority of the vice presidential electoral vote.
