There are a total of 535 seats in the US Parliament; Know how electoral votes are received
There are a total of 535 seats in the US Parliament, which includes 435 members of the House of Representatives (HOR) and 100 members of the Senate. Like the Lok Sabha in India, the House of Representatives is important in the US. At the same time, like the Rajya Sabha, there is a Senate in the US. The number of members of the House of Representatives in each state is decided on the basis of the population of that state, while the Senate has only two members from each state. This means that every state gets at least three electoral votes, two for senators and one for members of the HOR.
