US Presidential Election

The US Presidential Election is the process through which the United States elects its President and Vice President. It takes place every four years, on the first Tuesday after the first Monday in November. The election involves multiple stages, including a series of primary elections and caucuses held by political parties to select their nominees. The main components of the election process are the popular vote and the Electoral College system. After citizens cast their votes, the Electoral College—comprised of electors from each state—officially elects the President based on the outcome of the popular vote in each state. The candidate who secures a majority of the 538 electoral votes (at least 270) wins the presidency. Additionally, the election garners significant national attention, influencing and reflecting public opinion on issues and policies. The US Presidential Election is a fundamental aspect of American democracy, establishing the leadership of the country for a four-year term.
