Electrum is an elaborate python script. It uses the same bitwidth as your python interpreter. If you have Py32 installed it is 32 bit, if you have Py64 it is 64 bit.
For windows users
The standalone EXE is 32-bit. If you need to run 64-bit in PE or some other non WoW environment, simple grab the python libraries from the site and run the python sources at 64 bit.

So on the Electrum site in the download section for windows 7 pro there is no reference to 32 or 64 bit ? I need a desktop version in 32-bit ? – qx1 – 2018-12-09T14:57:40.193
1Ahh.... Windows... that wasn't clear. yes, the pre-packaged standalone EXE is 32 bit, so if that is what you need, you should be fine. – Dan – 2018-12-09T17:58:53.007

May I ask why the memory address range is relevant for a wallet application? It can be compiled for both, no? – James C. – 2018-12-02T08:28:14.233
