In the foreground, we see a digital illustration of a person casting a vote along with the text “Electoral College.” In the background, an electoral map of the United States features five icons with different candidates.

Every four years, millions of citizens vote for president and vice president of the United States. But the citizens’ votes (called popular votes) do not directly elect these leaders. Their votes actually elect the 538 members of a group called the electoral college. The electoral college then elects the president and vice president.
