When you vote for the President, you are actually voting for a group of electors pledged to vote for a specific President and Vice President. The states have a number of votes equal to the number of members of the House of Representatives plus Senators (District of Columbia has three votes).
On a predetermined date, the electors, who are elected according to rules in the states but generally with the whole slate getting the most votes being chosen, provide their votes (they are not legally required to vote for the candidates they were pledged to support). If a candidate for President/Vice President receives a majority of the votes (50% +1, or at present, 270 or more of the 538 votes), he/she is elected. If not, the decision goes to the House of Representatives, which chooses the President under a different set of rules (this procedure, specified in the Constitution, is not the Electoral College, though).
