What is the minimum number of electoral votes a state can have?

The minimum number of electoral votes a state can have is three. This is because the number of electoral votes for each state is equal to the total number of its Senators and Representatives in Congress. Every state has two Senators, and at least one Representative, which means even the smallest states have a total of three electoral votes. This ensures that all states have a fair representation in the Electoral College during presidential elections. Larger states have more Representatives, thus more electoral votes, but the three electoral votes guarantee that even the least populous states still have a voice in the election process.
