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