Americans have started to vote since October 18 this year what they called early elections.

The electoral system in USA is different from many countries.

Before the presidential election, the political parties have their primaries to choose their presidential candidate.

what is peculiar about the US election they have an electorate college system where each of the fifty states is allocated a certain number of electoral vote.

Like states like California and New York have more votes than smallest states such as Delaware and Connecticut.

The candidates that has more vote takes all electoral vote and to be president you needto win 270 from the 538 Electoral votes not a majority of popular vote that the candidate is elected president.

More than 100 million voters are likely to cast ballots in nation wide in US elections November 4.But only 538men and women will elect the next president of the United Sates, and those elections will take in the 50 states capitals and in Washington December 15, the e journal USAof the Sate Department reports

The indirect election system, called the Electoral College and devised in 1787 by the framers of the US constitution, puzzles Americans and non-Americans alike. It reflects the federal governing and to the people, but also the states.

The presidential electors nearly always vote the same way in December as the voters in their states did in November. The Electoral Collegewinner has nearly captured the most popular vote’s nation wide. But because all but two states have winner take all rules, occasionally the Electoral College winner trails an other candidate in nationwide popular votes as happened in 2000.

Political reporter David Mark describes the strategic game that flows from the Electoral College system.

presidential candidates pay less attention to reliably Democratic and Republican states in the campaign. Instead they focuses their attention and scare resources on a relatively small number of narrowly divided states. Florida and Ohio are well known examples- that decide the elections.

A lot of Americans want to change the election of the president to direct popular vote, but no such change is imminent. Amending the constitution requires enormous political will, only 27 amendments have passed in more than 22o years. And such change facesresistance from small states, which have disportionate representation in the Electoral College, from supporters of a two party system, and from supporters of a federal system of government.

What ever its merits, the Electoral College at least offers decisiveness. The House of Representatives has had to decide only two presidential elections because no candidate achieved an Electoral College majority that happened in 1824.

The fifty states has differentvoting methods, voting rules, different papers.

There is early election if the voter want safe time he or she can vote before Election Day November 4
