The electoral votes from Arkansas 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.
Arkansas is given one electoral vote for each Arkansas congressional
district, in addition to one electoral vote for each of the two
Arkansas Senators. In other words, the number of electoral votes
Arkansas has depends on how many Representatives Arkansas has in
Washington, D.C.
The number of Senators Arkansas has does not change, but the number of
Arkansas congressional districts is based on the last census.
Like every other state, Arkansas has 2 Senators. Furthermore, Arkansas
currently has 4 congressional districts. Thus, Arkansas has a total of
6 Representatives in Washington, D.C.
Therefore, the answer to the question "How many electoral votes does Arkansas have?" is 6.
