Best Answer

The election of the US President, and running mate, the Vice President, has a rather unusual procedure. Voters do not vote for them directly, they vote for electors, who then form an electoral college which elects the President. This is a relic of the time when democracy was considered to be a radical new idea, and it was not entirely trusted. No other office in the US is elected by this indirect method.
