That is a state by state rule. Many states do not allow electoral delegates to "vote their conscience".
Interestingly, some of the constitutions framers argued that each state should have the same # of electoral votes.-independent of population. The fear was that urban centers would legislate their own comforts at the expense of rural, agricultural states.
