The Presidential Election

The election of the President takes place in four stages:



1.-During the time from February until June in the election year
   supporters of the Republican and Democrats in each state
   choose in Primaries or State Conventions the National Convention. 


2.-The National Convention of the Republican and Democrats chooses
   the Presidential candidates from July until August.


3.-At Tuesday after the first Monday in November in leap years
   the people in each state choose the list of  Presidential electors for that 
   state(Republican or Democratic list).
  -The set of electors
   with the largest number of votes is chosen and wins all the electoral
   votes of the state(winner-take-all vote).
  -Each state has as many electors
   as it has Senators and Representatives in Congress(complett in USA 538).


4.-The electors from all the states(elector college)
   cast their votes for their Presidential candidate
   at Election Day(the Tuesday following the first Monday in November).
  -To be elected President a majority of 270 out of 538 electoral votes is needed.
