This list of 2020 United States presidential electors contains members of the Electoral College, known as "electors", who cast ballots to elect the president of the United States and vice president of the United States in the 2020 presidential election. There are 538 electors from the 50 states and the District of Columbia. [1]
The members of the 2020 Electoral College met on December 14, 2020. 306 electors voted for Joe Biden for President and Kamala Harris for Vice President. 232 electors voted for Donald Trump for President and Mike Pence for Vice President. There were no faithless electors. [2]
While every state except Nebraska and Maine chooses the electors by statewide vote, many states require that one elector be designated for each congressional district. These electors are chosen by each party before the general elections. A vote for that party then confirms their position. In all states except Nebraska and Maine, each state's electors are winner-take-all. In Maine and Nebraska within each congressional district one elector is allocated by popular vote – the states' remaining two electors (representing the two U.S. Senate seats) are winner-take-both. Except where otherwise noted, such designations refer to the elector's residence in that district rather than election by the voters of the district.

[S]worn in by state Supreme Court Justice Rhonda K. Wood, were [...] Washington County Judge Joseph Wood and Republican Party of Arkansas Deputy General Counsel George Ritter. Wood and Ritter were alternates, filling in for Ed Bethune and J.D. McGehee, respectively. Bethune, an 84-year-old former congressman, withdrew from the proceedings because of covid-19 concerns.
McGehee stepped aside after receiving conflicting opinions about his eligibility, officials said.

Bruce Westerman's district director, is a federal employee. McGehee made his decision "out of an abundance of caution," but attended the ceremony as a guest, Webb said.

The undersigned Chairperson and Secretary of the 2020 Illinois Electoral College are writing to notify the offices receiving original copies of the Certificate of Vote of the Electoral College executed on the 14th day of December 2020 that upon review of the Certificate a scrivener's error was discovered in that the name of "Joseph R. Biden" was written on the Certificate signed by all of the Electors as "Joseph F. Biden." The name on the individual ballots completed by the Electors set forth the candidate's correct name as "Joseph R. Biden." We request a copy of this letter be attached to each of the Certificates of Vote delivered to your office as evidence that the 20 Illinois Electors in fact voted for "Joseph R. Biden" for President of the United States of America.
One elector, Walter C. Herzig III, was absent as representative of the 9th District. The electors unanimously voted in a substitute, Sharon Baseman of Huntington Woods, to join the slate.

The Constitution prohibits people who hold an "office of trust of profit under the United States" from serving as electors. Herzig works for Democratic U.S. Rep. Andy Levin, D-Bloomfield Township.
