The electoral votes from Arizona 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.
Arizona is given one electoral vote for each Arizona congressional
district, in addition to one electoral vote for each of the two
Arizona Senators. In other words, the number of electoral votes
Arizona has depends on how many Representatives Arizona has in
Washington, D.C.
The number of Senators Arizona has does not change, but the number of
Arizona congressional districts is based on the last census.
Like every other state, Arizona has 2 Senators. Furthermore, Arizona
currently has 9 congressional districts. Thus, Arizona has a total of
11 Representatives in Washington, D.C.
Therefore, the answer to the question "How many electoral votes does Arizona have?" is 11.
