About Electoral Votes
Electoral Votes are part of the Electoral College, representatives who formally elect the President and Vice President of the United States of America. Voters in Presidential Elections do not directly vote for the President, instead they vote for electors representing their state. The elector may cast only one vote for President and one vote for Vice-President.
About Population
The United States collects census data every 10 years to find the population of cities and states. This information helps cities and states to plan and budget as well as determine what types of services are needed in a region. One of the most important things the census helps to determine is how many total seats in the House of Representatives each state gets.
