The U.S. Constitution specifies that every four years, on the first Tuesday after the first Monday in November, American citizens go to the polls and choose “electors,” who, before Jan. 6, ceremonially meet in the state capitol, sign documents and, under the solemn gaze of the governor, vote to select the next president of the United States.
