How the Presidential Election Works
Voters in each state choose electors who formally elect the president. The candidate who reaches 270 electoral votes wins the White House. The process includes primary elections, party conventions, and the general election.
Key Deadlines and How to Prepare
Voter registration deadlines vary by state and usually fall weeks before Election Day. Check your state election office or the U.S. Election Assistance Commission for dates, rules, and polling locations.
