Question

Who is chosen to cast a state’s votes for president and Vice President?

Answer 1

The election of the President and vice president of the United States is an indirect vote in which citizens cast ballots for a set of members of the U.S. Electoral College. These electors then cast direct votes for the President and vice president. If both votes result in an absolute majority, the election is over.

Answer 2

The election of President and Vice President of the United States is an indirect election in which citizens of the United States who are registered to vote in one of the 50 U.S. states or in Washington, D.C. cast ballots not directly for those offices, but instead for members of the U.S. Electoral College, known as electors.
