Who do the people vote for to in turn cast their votes for a presidential candidate?
Many Americans think that when they cast their ballot, they are voting for their chosen candidate for a better government. In actuality they are selecting groups of electors in the electoral college. A candidate must receive an absolute majority of electoral votes (currently 270) to win the Presidency.The election for President and Vice President is not a direct election by United States citizens. Citizens vote for electors, representing a state, who are the authorized constitutional participants in a presidential election.

What determines the candidate the electors vote for in the electoral college?
Electoral college is actually the means which officially determines the election of the President and Vice President--if the votes are more than 50% for a single candidate for each office. They are actual people selected by the voters of the individual states; they are "pledged" to vote for a slate of President/Vice President, but they are not legally required to do so (and, in the case of death or disability, would be empowered to vote for someone else). They are "elected" for this single purpose, and electors for the major party candidates are usually chosen from among party loyalists in their respective states. If they don't get 50% in their balloting, the decision of electing the President goes to the House and the Electoral College is released from further duty.
