Who choses electors?

Question

For the electoral college

Answer 1

Presidential electors are assigned before the general election. They are either nominated in primaries like in Oklahoma, appointed in state political conventions like Virginia and North Carolina, or appointed by campaign committees like in Pennsylvania. All electors' names must be filed with their states' secretary of state's office one month prior to the election for president.

Answer 2

The United States Electoral College is the official name of the group of Presidential Electors who are chosen every four years to cast the electoral vote and thereby elect the President and Vice President of the United States. Each state has as many Electors as it has Representatives and Senators. The number of Electors is equal to the total membership of both houses of Congress. There are currently 100 Senators and 435 Members of the House of Representatives, so the total membership of both houses of Congress is 535. Therefore, in order to win the Presidency, it is necessary for the successful candidate to gain 270 electoral votes (a majority of 538).
