The electoral votes from North Dakota 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.
North Dakota is given one electoral vote for each North Dakota congressional
district, in addition to one electoral vote for each of the two
North Dakota Senators. In other words, the number of electoral votes
North Dakota has depends on how many Representatives North Dakota has in
Washington, D.C.
The number of Senators North Dakota has does not change, but the number of
North Dakota congressional districts is based on the last census.
Like every other state, North Dakota has 2 Senators. Furthermore, North Dakota
currently has 1 congressional districts. Thus, North Dakota has a total of
3 Representatives in Washington, D.C.
Therefore, the answer to the question "How many electoral votes does North Dakota have?" is 3.
