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 electoral college system in the United States takes power away from the popular vote and gives it to the states. It was designed to balance the interests of smaller states against larger states and ensure that the president is elected by a diverse range of states. This means that a candidate can win the popular vote but still lose the election if they do not secure enough electoral votes.
