Explanation:

In the United States, the president is not directly elected. In fact, on the day of the election, the president is not elected, but a college that only elects him or her some time later. This electoral college consists of 538 electors. That is the same as the number of senators and members of the House of Representatives for each state, supplemented by three additional seats for Washington D.C. As the number of members of the House of Representatives is different per state, the number of electors per state is also different. The minimum number for a state is three, since each state has two senators and at least one representative.
