The Electoral College serves to choose the president and vice president of the United States, allowing electors from each state to cast votes based on the state's popular vote. It comprises 538 electors, and a candidate needs 270 votes to win. This system was established as a compromise during the Constitutional Convention in 1787 to balance the influence of populous and less populated states.
