The United States is the only example of a country in the world which uses an electoral college to indirectly elect the executive, so every other democracy is one without an electoral college.
False!!!!Per the US Constitution, the Electoral College actually is the body that elects the President. There have been some elections in the past where the popular vote was won by a candidate, but the Electoral College elected another candidate.
The electoral college elects the president. The electoral college are people appointed by each state to represent the people within the state. The number of electoral votes depends on the number of representatives and senators a state has in Congress. The electoral college has to vote in favor of the people, as they are representing them by casting their vote. For example, if a state's electoral college votes to elect a republican but the 80% of the citizens vote to elect a democrat, then something is up. So the electoral college represents the people, so in a way, the people are voting for the president. The popular vote is when the citizens vote for the president. This has no factor in electing the president. However, it is just a fun and statistical point of view. It lets us see who the citizens actually want to be elected and can give insight on a president's approval rating. It also lets us see if the electoral college is working effectively.
The electoral college was set up to provide a balance between population-based and state-based voting. Remember the United State was founded as a Union of States. Without a electoral system the elections would have and still would be easily decided by the most populous states. The electoral system was a compromise. The above answer presupposes that a simple popular vote would be inadequate to elect the president. The above answer assumes that population-based voting would somehow result it unfair elections. REMEMBER, the number of electoral college representatives per state increases as a state's population increases. Thus, the most populous states often DO decide presidential elections. And there is nothing wrong with that. REMEMBER, the United States is a democratic republic. The electoral college was not created as a compromise in the same way that Congress (population-based) and the Senate (state-based) were created by compromise to compliment each other. The very fact that members of the electoral college are not statutorily required to vote for the candidate that took their state is strong evidence that the electoral college exists to prevent the election of a populist president. The electoral college was developed because the founders of the nation did not trust the people fully to directly elect their leaders. Some people (for example, Alexander Hamilton) did not have much faith in the common citizen. The overall opinion was that national leaders should be elected by educated, respected people who were selected by each state.
That happens because the electoral votes are not given in the same proportions as the popular votes received. Virtually every state uses the "winner-takes-all" method of appointing electors. If, for example, 48% of a state's popular votes are cast in favor of Candidate A, 47% support Candidate B, and 5% support Candidate C, Candidate A gets 100% of that state's electoral votes and Candidates B & C don't get any.The Electoral College casts the electoral votes. It is comprised of representatives of each state. While the popular vote is held to have an impact on the Electoral College's decisions on who to vote for, it is not illegal for the Electoral College to vote another way. In addition, not every state has the same amount of electoral votes. It is possible for more people total to vote for a president, but since they are so spread throughout the states, the Electoral Votes may end in another way.
Electoral votes in the US are the popular vote for each state combined into an electoral. Example - 50,000 people vote for a candidate in one state. 60,000 vote for the other candidate in the same state. The candidate with 60,000 voted in that states gets the electoral vote. Note. A state can have more electoral votes depending on population.
Electoral votes can be fair but also not. For example if you live a democratic state but your a republican your vote doesn't do much and the other way around. But also it gives a whole states vote to one person giving them more points.
An example of government is when the state has the authority and excersisde
