Who opens and reads the electoral votes?

The entire Electoral College does not meet together in one place. Electors meet in their respective state capitals (electors for the District of Columbia meet within the District) on the Monday after the second Wednesday in December, at which time they cast their electoral votes on separate ballots for president and vice-president. Each state then forwards the election results to the President of the U.S. Senate, the Archivist of the United States, the state's Secretary of State, and the chief judge of the United States district court where those electors met. A joint session of Congress takes place on January 6 in the calendar year immediately following the meetings of the presidential electors. Senate pages bring in the boxes containing each state's certified vote and place them on tables in front of the Senators and Representatives. Each house appoints two tellers to count the vote (normally one member of each political party). Relevant portions of the Certificate of Vote are read for each state, in alphabetical order. The electoral votes are officially tabulated at the joint session of Congress and the winner of the election is officially declared. The sitting vice-president is expected to preside at the joint session.

How and when do electoral college voters vote?

In the presidential election the people actually vote for a slate of electors all of whom are sworn to vote for a particular candidate. The number of electors varies from state to state and is the number of Congressmen it has plus 2 for its 2 senators. Usually the candidate's name is on the ballot and people may think they are voting directly for the candidate. After the votes are counted the slate of electors with the most votes meet and send a letter certifying their vote to the president of the Senate who in the presence of both houses of Congress opens the letters , counts the vote and announces the results.
