The electoral votes from Nebraska 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.
Nebraska is given one electoral vote for each Nebraska congressional
district, in addition to one electoral vote for each of the two
Nebraska Senators. In other words, the number of electoral votes
Nebraska has depends on how many Representatives Nebraska has in
Washington, D.C.
The number of Senators Nebraska has does not change, but the number of
Nebraska congressional districts is based on the last census.
Like every other state, Nebraska has 2 Senators. Furthermore, Nebraska
currently has 3 congressional districts. Thus, Nebraska has a total of
5 Representatives in Washington, D.C.
Therefore, the answer to the question "How many electoral votes does Nebraska have?" is 5.
