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