In the Democratic Party, each congressional nominee and each US Senate nominee (determined by the last two elections) designates one elector. Each party determines its own method for selecting electors.
On or before October 1 of the presidential election year, each party's nominee must file a list containing the names, addresses, and telephone numbers of the 55 electors pledges to him/her. For California, this means we get 55 votes (2 senators and 53 members of the House of Representatives) - the most of any state. The formula for determining the number of votes for each state is simple: each state gets two votes for its two US Senators, and then one more additional vote for each member it has in the House of Representatives. There are a total of 538 electoral votes, and the number of votes each state receives is proportional to its size - the bigger the state's population the more "votes" it gets. How exactly does this work? Under the "Electoral College" system, each state is assigned a certain number of "votes". The person who receives a majority of votes from the "Electoral College" becomes President. Second, the "electors" from each of the 50 states gather in December and they vote for president. In nearly every state, the candidate who gets the most votes wins the "electoral votes" for that state, and gets that number of voters (or "electors") in the "Electoral College." Instead, the election of the president of the United States is a two-step process.įirst, voters cast ballots on Election Day in each state. Unlike in most elections, the person who becomes president is not necessarily the candidate who wins the most votes on Election Day.
