In the United States, the president and vice president are elected by the Electoral College, which is composed of 538 electors. Each state has a number of electors equal to its total number of senators and representatives in Congress. To win the presidency, a candidate must receive a majority of the electoral votes, which is at least 270. The general public votes for these electors in their respective states during the presidential election.
