What is a presidential election?
A presidential election is a result of combining of separate state elections instead of a single national election run by the federal government.
The president and vice president are not elected directly by citizens. Instead, they are chosen by electors through a process called the Electoral College.
The process of using electors comes from the Constitution. It was a compromise between a popular vote by citizens and a vote in Congress.
Each state gets as many electors as it has members of Congress (House and Senate). Including Washington, D.C.’s three electors, there are currently 538 electors in all.
Each state’s political parties choose their own slate of potential electors. Who is chosen to be an elector, how, and when varies by state.
