The Electoral College is comprised of 538 members, representing the 50 states and the District of Columbia. The number of electors each state has is equal to the sum of representatives that state has in the U.S. House of Representatives and the Senate. The District of Columbia is entitled to the number of electors it would have if it were a state, despite not having representation in Congress, but can have no more electors than the least populous state.
