Instead, Americans vote for their preferred candidate’s slate of presidential electors—individuals who, together, make up the Electoral College. Those electors then vote for president and vice president of the United States. (Electors' names often appear on modern ballots, but they're rarely presented as stylishly as on this 1884 Republican party ticket from Connecticut). Across the United States today, electors will be meeting to vote for the candidate who won their home state’s popular vote, as recorded by the state’s governor in certificates of ascertainment. (Each U.S state has the same number of electors as it does representatives and senators in Congress—from 3 to 55 electors depending on the state). After today, the results of the electors' votes will be sent to the President of the Senate and the Archivist of the United States. On January 6, 2020, the electors' votes will be counted during a joint session of Congress, after which the winners of the 2020 presidential election will be announced.
