Quick answers

2028 electoral map FAQ

How many electoral votes are there in 2028?
There are 538 electoral votes in 2028, the same as 2024, based on the 2020 Census apportionment. A candidate needs 270 to win.
What is the 538 electoral map?
The 538 electoral map is the full Electoral College: 538 electors across 50 states and D.C. A majority of 270 wins the presidency. This page is that map for 2028, with leans and battlegrounds.
Can Donald Trump win the 2028 electoral map?
No. Donald Trump is term-limited by the 22nd Amendment and cannot be elected president again, so he will not be on the 2028 ballot or win any 2028 electoral votes. The Republican Party will field a new nominee for 2028.
What is the 2028 electoral map starting point?
On one reasonable baseline, the Democratic nominee starts with about 226 electoral votes from safer states and the Republican with about 219, leaving roughly 93 in true tossup battlegrounds.
Will the electoral map change for 2028?
No. The number of electoral votes per state is fixed for 2028 by the 2020 Census. The next reapportionment happens after the 2030 Census and would only affect 2032 and beyond.
What happens if no candidate reaches 270?
If no candidate wins a majority of electoral votes, the election goes to the House of Representatives, which chooses the president with each state delegation casting one vote.
