The United States of America is a federal coalition which consists of component states. The United States Electoral College is the mechanism established by the United States Constitution for the indirect election of the President of the United States and Vice President of the United States.
Citizens of the United States vote in each state and the District of Columbia at a general election to choose a slate of "electors" pledged to vote for a particular party's candidate.
The collective opinion of even a small state merits attention at the federal level equivalent to a very populous state. The system allows each state the freedom, within constitutional bounds, to design its own laws on voting and enfranchisement.
The Twelfth Amendment requires each elector to cast one vote for president and another vote for vice president.
Each state chooses electors, corresponding in number to that state's combined total of senators and representatives, plus the three electors for the District of Columbia as provided by the Twenty-third Amendment.
All states except California (before 1913), Maine, and Nebraska have chosen electors on a "winner-take-all" basis since the 1880s.
Although the United States Constitution refers to "Electors" and "electors", neither the phrase "Electoral College" nor any other name is used to describe the electors collectively. It was not until the early 19th century the name "Electoral College" came into general usage.
