The group of currently 538 people who are responsible for casting the votes that elect the U.S. President and Vice President is most commonly referred to as the electoral college, but the U.S. Constitution just calls them the electors.

∙ 11y agoThe U. S. President and Vice President are elected by the electoral college, a group of 538 people chosen by the 50 states and the District of Columbia based on the preferences of the majority of the voters of each state & D.C. However, if no presidential candidate receives more than half of the available electoral votes, the House of Representatives elects the president from among the three candidates who received the most electoral votes, and if no vice-presidential candidate receives more than half of the available votes, the Senate elects the Vice-President from between the two candidates who received the most electoral votes.
