The United States has a system of voting for a president that is unique among western democracies. Rather than vote directly for a president or entrust the presidential election to a parliament, Americans instead vote for statewide slates of electors who are pledged to a candidate. The successful electors become the members of the Electoral College, which elects the president by a majority vote. This article presents a lesson plan on the Electoral College as well as suggestions that have been made to reform the Electoral College without eliminating it that classes can review.
