The electoral votes from New Hampshire 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.
New Hampshire is given one electoral vote for each New Hampshire congressional
district, in addition to one electoral vote for each of the two
New Hampshire Senators. In other words, the number of electoral votes
New Hampshire has depends on how many Representatives New Hampshire has in
Washington, D.C.
The number of Senators New Hampshire has does not change, but the number of
New Hampshire congressional districts is based on the last census.
Like every other state, New Hampshire has 2 Senators. Furthermore, New Hampshire
currently has 2 congressional districts. Thus, New Hampshire has a total of
4 Representatives in Washington, D.C.
Therefore, the answer to the question "How many electoral votes does New Hampshire have?" is 4.
