The electors are chosen by the voters of each state in the presidential election. When people vote for president, they actually are choosing the electors supporting the candidates named on the ballot.
There was no presidential election in 1911, Since the constitution was ratified, presidents have been chosen by electors chosen by the ballot by the people.
The Electors
Electors in each state are typically chosen through a party convention or a primary election, where political parties select individuals to represent them in the Electoral College. Each state has a number of electors equal to its total number of senators and representatives in Congress. Once selected, these electors pledge to vote for their party's candidate in the presidential election. The process varies by state, but in most cases, the electors are chosen based on their loyalty to the party and its platform.

The constitution calls for the President to elected by electors from the states. It allows the state legislatures to decide how to choose its electors. Probably most of the framers expected the legislatures to elect the electors rather than holding a popular election to choose them.
Each major party picks a slate of electors, and then on Election Day the voters select one of the two slates by choosing between the two serious candidates.
Dude, there are 4 presidential electors in Idaho. The number of electors in any state is equal to that state's congressional presence- Meaning, a state has the same number of electors as it has people in congress. In Idaho, that means 4 (because we have 2 senators and 2 representatives).
They are "electors" and as a group they are the "electoral college." Voters in Presidential elections are actually selecting the electors who represent a given party or candidate. Under the US Contitution, voters in each state select Presidential Electors who meet in their State Capitals and vote on the Presidential slates. Together, these Electors constitute the Electoral College, although the College never meets all together in one place. Although Electors are usually pledged to vote for one slate or another, there is no constitutional requirement that they do so. Originally they were expected to vote as they thought best for their states and the country.
