The process for
selecting electors varies throughout the United States. Generally, the
political parties nominate electors at their State party conventions or
by a vote of the party's central committee in each State.
Electors are often
selected to recognize their service and dedication to their political
party. They may be State-elected officials, party leaders, or persons
who have a personal or political affiliation with the Presidential
candidate.
Then the voters in
each State choose the electors on the day of the general election. The
electors' names may or may not appear on the ballot below the name of
the candidates running for President, depending on the procedure in
each State.
There are some
restrictions for appointing electors.
