Best Answer

Electoral votes determine the President of the United States. Every state and DC are awarded a certain number of electoral votes with which to elect the President. 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. The electors in each state are elected in the presidential election and swear in advance to vote for the presidential candidate who wins the election in their state. When people vote for a presidential candidate they actually are voting for the electors in that state who have sworn in advance that they will vote for that candidate in the electoral college.
