The State of New York sends 27 members to the House of Representatives[167] in addition to its two United States Senators. As of the 2000 census and the redistricting for the 2002 elections, the state had 29 members in the House, but the representation was reduced to 27 in 2013 due to the state's slower overall population growth relative to the overall national population growth.[168] From 2016, New York will have 29electoral votes in national presidential elections (a drop from its peak of 47 votes from 1933 to 1953).
