(in the US) a group of people who come together to elect the President and Vice-President, based on the votes of people in each state总统选举团(在美国由各州选民投票推选组成,集中在一起选举总统和副总统)
Each of the fifty states casts electoral college votes equal to the number of its delegates in Congress.五十个州中的每个州都投票选举大学,其票数等于其国会代表人数。
CulturePeople do not vote directly for the President and Vice-President. In each state, they vote for ' electors', who then vote for a particular candidate. All the electoral votes of a state go to one candidate. It is therefore possible for the President to be elected without getting a majority of the US people's votes. Many Americans think that the system is old-fashioned and should be changed.
(British English)a group of people who are chosen to represent the members of a political party, etc. in the election of a leader领袖选举团(经推选组成,代表政党党员选举领导人)
