The electoral votes from Delaware and the other states are
used to elect a President and Vice President every four years.
Whichever Presidential candidate gets the majority of
the electoral votes becomes the President.
Delaware is given one electoral vote for each Delaware congressional
district, in addition to one electoral vote for each of the two
Delaware Senators. In other words, the number of electoral votes
Delaware has depends on how many Representatives Delaware has in
Washington, D.C.
The number of Senators Delaware has does not change, but the number of
Delaware congressional districts is based on the last census.
Like every other state, Delaware has 2 Senators. Furthermore, Delaware
currently has 1 congressional districts. Thus, Delaware has a total of
3 Representatives in Washington, D.C.
Therefore, the answer to the question "How many electoral votes does Delaware have?" is 3.
