The electoral college is a system in which a group of people is chosen from each state to elect the President indirectly.

Democratic countries have elections in which people vote to elect their president and representants. In the United States, people vote to elect the president and vice president but it is a peculiar way to define the winner of the election. It is not the majority vote that decides the election. It is the electoral college.

The electoral college is not an office, institution or organization. No. It is a process established in the US Constitution that select electors, the meet of those electors, and the Congress that counts the votes. The electoral college is formed by 538 electors, and 270 votes are needed to declare a winner in the presidential election.
