Best Answer

The electoral college is not an election.

The U. S. Presidential and Vice Presidential elections are indirect elections because the public does not elect them directly, but the public elects the people who elect them.

Examples of direct elections are elections for U. S. Representatives and modern elections for U. S. Senators.
