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 and the District of Columbia is given a certain number of electoral votes based on the population of the state plus 2 for each senator. The population count comes from the census that is taken every 10 years. That means that every 10 years the number of electors for each state may change based on the the results of the census. The total number of electors is set at 538.
An elector is a person who is elected within the state to vote based on the majority vote of the citizens. This person may be someone who holds an elected office but most of the time the person is selected for the position because of their past service in politics. The elector may vote however they wish but the reason that they are selected is because they will cast their vote based on the majority vote of the state.
When a canidate wins the majority vote in a state they receive all of the electoral votes from that state.
