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. The electoral votes are officially tabulated at the joint session of Congress and the winner of the election is officially declared.

Your vote "counts" more in a mayoral election because cities have fewer residents than the states in which they reside, and turnout for such elections is low compared to gubernatorial and presidential elections; because of the way the Electoral College works, however, if your state is expected to be close in support for one presidential candidate or the other, while your governor or mayor is popular enough to easily be re-elected, your vote may count more in a marginal sense.
