The Electoral College is the process that we use to elect the President and Vice President of the United States. For most people the college is not very well understood and is only of importance during the year prior to the electing of our President. Here is a description of how the college works and resource to use to better understand the process.

 

Each state is given a certain number of electoral votes based on population. The population count comes from the census that is taken every 10 years. That means that every 10 years the numbers changed based on the the results of the census. Per the Constitution each state will have a minimum of 2 votes with the total number of electors set at 538/
