Electoral College Tie Finder

While unlikely, a 269-269 tie in the electoral college is possible in a competitive 2028 presidential election. Read more about what happens if no candidate reaches 270 electoral college votes.

This page calculates ties for 2028 based on competitive states in the 2024 presidential election. There are eight possible ties associated with the nine locations (states or districts*) that were decided by a margin of less than 5%. You can see those groups in the table below the map.

Another six locations had a margin from 5-10%. The outcome for these 15 locations can be changed via the icons below. Select a state or district to change its setting. As you do that, the available electoral tie combinations will update, as will the electoral vote count for each party.
