Instead, the election of the president of the United States is a two-step process. First, voters cast ballots on Election Day in each state. 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.. Second, the electors from each of the 50 states gather in December and they vote for president.
