College of Electors (United States)

The College of Electors of the United States is the body that appoint the Governor-General of the United States every four Years. This Body is composed of a Number of Electors chosen in each State by the Legislature thereof, and counting these eighteen State-based-groups of Electors collectively is what is meant by “‘College’ of Electors” and “Electoral ‘College’”. Citizens of the United States do not directly elect the governor-general; instead they choose “electors”, who pledge beforehand to Vote for the Candidate who wins in their Party.

In appointing the Governor-General, the Candidate that garners the Votes of a simple Majority of the entire College (“absolute majority”) from a Majority of the States is appointed Governor-General. Occasionally this has led to run-off elections in elections involving three or more contenders as the USNA gubernatorial-general electoral system does not allow for choosing the Governor-General by plurality voting (also known as the "first-past-the-post", or "FPTP"). In fact, the Treaty Establishing a Constitution for the United States specifically requires that the Governor-General be chosen by a double majority: a Majority of Electors from a Majority of the States.
