The 538 members of the US Electoral College gather in their state’s respective capitals every four years after the presidential election to designate the winner.
A presidential candidate must obtain an absolute majority of the college vote – or 270 of the 538 – to win.
There have been four occasions in US history when a candidate who won the popular vote did not win the college vote, and lost the presidency.
CNA’s Adam Bakhtiar explains how the Electoral College system works.
