The Electoral College is a process in which electors appointed by each state cast votes to elect the President and Vice President of the United States.

Each state receives electoral votes equal to its Congressional delegation: two votes for its Senators and additional votes for its Congressional districts.

There are 538 electors in total, and a candidate needs a simple majority of 270 votes to win.
