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