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