They are "electors" and as a group they are the "electoral college." Voters in Presidential elections are actually selecting the electors who represent a given party or candidate. Under the US Contitution, voters in each state select Presidential Electors who meet in their State Capitals and vote on the Presidential slates. Together, these Electors constitute the Electoral College, although the College never meets all together in one place.

The party of each candidate selects a slate of state electors. It is these people we actually vote for when we cast a ballot for president, not the candidate. The slate with the most votes gets to cast electoral votes for the President.
