ELECTORAL COLLEGE SYSTEM

• An electoral college is a set of electors who are selected to elect a

candidate to particular offices. Often these represent different
organizations, political parties or entities, with each organization,
political party or entity represented by a particular number of electors
or with votes weighted in a particular way.
• The United States Electoral College is an example of a system in which
an executive president is indirectly elected ,with electors representing
the states and the federal district. The votes of the public determine
electors, who formally choose the president through the electoral
college. Each state has a number of electors equal to its Congressional
representation, with the non-state District of Columbia receiving the
number it would have if it were a state, but in no case more than that of
the least populous state.
• Under this system, the electors generally cast their votes for the
winner of the popular vote in their respective states.[3] However, there
are several states where this is not required by law. In the United
States, 270 electoral votes of the 538 electors are currently required
to win the presidential election.[4]
VOTING METHOD, REGISTRATION AND
MORE

• The most common method used in U.S. elections is the

first-past-the-post system, where the highest-polling candidate wins
the election Under this system, a candidate only requires a plurality of
votes to win, rather than an outright majority
• Traditionally, voters had to register at state offices to vote, but in the
mid-1990s efforts were made by the federal government to make
registering easier, in an attempt to increase turnout.
• Voters unable or unwilling to vote at polling stations on Election Day may vote
via absentee ballots, depending on state law. Originally these ballots were for
people who could not go to the polling place on election day. Now some states let
them be used for convenience, but state laws still call them absentee ballots.
Absentee ballots can be sent and returned by mail
• Early voting is a formal process where voters can cast their ballots prior to
the official Election Day. Early voting in person is allowed in 33 states and
in Washington, D.C., with no excuse required.
