5 November 2024, 6:31:53

The US presidential election is today. The whole world is watching this election. The wait is over. Mahendrakasna of the beginning of Maharan is present. Today is the presidential election of the United States, ending a year of intense campaigning by the Democratic and Republican parties.

On Tuesday (November 5) the country’s voters will vote to choose their next president local time.

But there is no guarantee that the candidate who gets the most votes will win. This is because voters do not elect the president directly. The election of the President of the United States is done in a system called the ‘Electoral College’.

Originally, voters in the United States could not directly elect a president or vice president, voting was done through a system called the ‘Electoral College’. There are a total of 538 electors in the 50 states of the United States.

When US citizens vote in November’s presidential election, most will vote for either Democrat Kamala Harris or Republican Donald Trump.

However, who will win between the two will not be directly determined by the votes given by the voters. Instead of national-level elections, winners and losers will be decided through state-by-state elections.

Winning one of the 50 US states means that a candidate receives all of that state’s ‘electoral college’ votes.

The total number of electoral college votes is 538. If the electoral votes of all the states except Maine and Nebraska are added up, the candidate who receives 270 or more votes will be elected president. The vice-president will be the running mate of that candidate.
