About Electoral college in brief
An electoral college is a set of electors who are selected to elect a candidate to particular offices. Early Germanic law stated that the German king led only with the support of his nobles. In the Church, both the clergy and laity elected the bishop or presiding presbyter. Countries with complex regional electorates may elect a head of state by means of an electoral college rather than a direct popular election. The United States Electoral College is an example of a system in which an executive president is indirectly elected, with electors representing the 50 states and the federal district. In 2020, the United States Supreme Court decided that, in Chiafalo v. Washington, those electors may be punished by law if they do not vote as directed. In Germany, the electoral college comprises members of the federal parliament together with an equal number of people elected from the state parliaments. In France, an electoralCollege is particularly formed by the Grands électeurs consisting of local elected representatives. Since the beginning of the French Fifth Republic, the French President was elected by these Grands Électeur. Prior to the 1962 French presidential election, prior to the adoption of the Constitution of 1958, the President of France was elect by the French Parliament.
In India, in the Federal Convention that exists for the purpose of electing the head of the state, members of both houses of parliament elect members of electoral college together with votes weighted in a particular way. In the Netherlands, the deputies of the First Chamber are elected by the provincial parliament. Those provincialParliaments form the many electoral colleges for the First Chambers elections; the lists of candidates are national. The College of Cardinals under the age of 80 elect the pope in a papal conclave. The votes of the public determine electors, who formally choose the president through the electoralcollege. There are five ways electoral college representatives are chosen: presidential nomination appointment; party nominee by appointment; gubernatorial appointments; state chair appointments; and hybrid methods for the elector selection.
