The electors meet to cast their votes (which are sent to Washington, D.C.) on the Monday after the 2nd Wednesday in December.. its very confusing just like when the presidential election is confusing. It's not confusing once you learn that the Monday after the 2nd Wednesday of December is always the 6th Monday after Election Day.

What day must Congress meet each year?

The Constitution originally specified the first Monday in December as the date for the minimum one meeting of Congress, but deferred to the right of Congress to alter this date, which was done.A new Congress begins at noon on January 3 each year, and according to the 20th Amendment, they are required to meet on that date unless they otherwise assign a date. In years following a congressional election (every other year), Congress will meet January 3 to induct new Congressmen and Senators, if any. In years following a Presidential election, a joint session of Congress convenes to receive the votes of the Electoral College. If the count hasn't been completed before January 20, either the Vice President-elect (his count completed) or the sitting Speaker of the House would become President, until the count has been completed or until the House otherwise selects a President.Otherwise, Congressional sessions are defined by the requirements of the Congress and may take place on any schedule they devise.
