Simple. The number of electrons in the universe is exactly equal to the number of protons in the universe.
I'm assuming that this was a trick question.

Assuming the universe to be in a constant state of expansion, and assuming there is no further growth from what already exists, the question is unanswerable. electrons are part of every atom that exists (i think), therefore attempting to calculate the number of electrons in the universe is a futile effort.
PS: and this is not taking into account quantum physics or the theory of relativity. Just an observation.

We can't even estimate the number of atoms in the universe properly, let alone the number of electrons.

The exact number is not known and probably not knowable. Physicists estimate about 10^80 particles in the universe.

that is impossible to know... electrons are in every atom of every element of every thing in the entire universe.

If you are willing to wait 10^200 billion years, I will count them for you.
