The Electoral College is the collective name that has been given to the 538 delegates from the 50 states who cast their electoral votes every four years to elect the President and Vice President, as specified by the US Constitution.

How is the amount of electoral colleges per state decided?
Each state has electoral votes equal to the total of the 2 representative the state has in the U.S. Senate plus the number of representative the state has in the House of Representatives. Since every state has two senators and at least one representative to the House, every state has at least 3 electoral votes. The District of Columbia gets 3 electoral votes. Therefore, the total number of electoral votes is 538 - 100 (senators) + 435 (representatives) + 3 (for DC).
