The Electoral College is comprised of 538 electors who cast one vote per person for president and vice president. Arizona has 11 electors to reflect the number of senators and representatives it has in the U.S. Congress. Electors pledge to support the candidate they represent and may not vote otherwise, meaning Arizona s electors voted for Biden and could not vote for Trump.
