More about presidential election :
In a presidential election or an indirect election, citizens of the United States cast votes for members of the Electoral College rather than directly for the president and vice president of the country. These electors then make direct selections for president and vice president, known as electoral votes.
Since the Twenty-Third Amendment gave residents of Washington, D.C. the right to vote, the candidate who receives an absolute majority of electoral votes (at least 270 out of 538) is then chosen to fill that office.
