The Electoral College does not meet as one body, but rather the electors for each state meet in the chamber designated for that purpose in each state. In most states, the electors meet in that state's legislature building. The electors of each state follow their own rules of procedure, whereby an appointed secretary usually counts the votes cast orally. However, technically there are 51 different procedures (50 states + District of Columbia).
* Electoral College votes are the votes of the Electors in each state. when we vote, it's called the Popular Vote. You can find the amount of electors your state has by this: Each state has 2 senators+ the number of representatives your state has= the amount of state electors you have. The electors cast the final votes for the election.
