Electoral College:
The institution through which Americans elect the president and vice president of the United States. Many American voters are unaware of the electoral college’s role, in part because they mistakenly believe that they directly elect the president and vice president. In fact, when they cast their ballots for president and vice president, they are voting for officials called electors who are assigned to each presidential candidate.
