About this election
The electoral system
The election was again decided by the Electoral College and its 270-vote threshold. As in 2020, the two states that split their electors did so: Maine awarded one vote to Trump from its second district, and Nebraska awarded one to Harris from its second district (Omaha). The 2024 vote was also the first conducted under the apportionment of electors drawn from the 2020 census, which shifted several electoral votes toward Sun Belt states.
