  • The US presidential elections are an indirect election, where citizens vote for members of the electoral college, who in turn vote directly for the candidates.

    Parties conduct primary and caucuses elections to select their respective presidential candidates.

    The candidate who gets the absolute majority of votes wins the presidency; if no candidate wins an absolute majority, the house of representatives chooses the president.
