The U.S. Electoral College system is a system of indirect election. In accordance with Article II of the United States Constitution, electoral votes determine the President and Vice President of the United States. The electors are elected by direct popular vote in each state and each candidate for elector swears in advance whom he will vote for. The electors from each of the 50 U.S. states and the District of Columbia then cast their electoral votes to elect the President and Vice President of the United States.
Examples of direct popular elections are elections of the representatives in the U. S. House of Representatives and the U.S. Senate.
The electoral college is not an election. The U. S. Presidential and Vice Presidential elections are indirect elections because the public does not elect them directly, but the public elects the people who elect them. Examples of direct elections are elections for U. S. Representatives and modern elections for U. S. Senators.
