The U.S. Electoral College system is a system of indirect election. In accordance with Article II of the United States Constitution, electoral votes determine the President and Vice President of the United States. The electors are elected by direct popular vote in each state and each candidate for elector swears in advance whom he will vote for. The electors from each of the 50 U.S. states and the District of Columbia then cast their electoral votes to elect the President and Vice President of the United States.
The citizens are the voters for the electoral college.
This is how you use Electoral College in a sentence. (this is a fail...look at mine! :) :P) The electoral college represents a states population.
Not necessarily. The twentieth amendment states that the process of electing a president will be through popular vote of citizens of the United States. In a way, the citizens of the United States are the electoral college.
US citizens who are registered to vote elect delegates to the Electoral College, and the Electoral College elects the president and VP.
The electoral college represents a states population.
The Electoral college is the Presidential voting system. The electoral college gives each state a certain amount of electoral votes. If a presidential candidate wins the majority of the citizens votes, he will also get the electoral vote.
Yes, you are right - that is what happens.
Look up the electoral college process and you'll understand better. Hint: we pick, they pick. This happened because in colonial times, they couldn't decide who should pick the president: the "smart" people or citizens. Hope I helped....
The President of the U.S.A is elected through indirect voting. U.S. citizens cast personal ballots for members of the U.S. Electoral College. The Electoral College directly elects the President.
Electoral college, citizens, delegates, maybe the president

The U.S. Constitution does not use the phrase "electoral college". It just refers to them as "electors".
