What is a member of the Electoral College called?

A member of the Electoral College is called an elector. Electors are individuals selected by each state's political parties to vote for the President and Vice President of the United States in the Electoral College. Each state is allocated a number of electors based on its total number of congressional representatives, which reflects the population size of the state.

The role of electors is defined in the United States Constitution, and their primary responsibility occurs during the Electoral College meeting, where they officially cast votes for the candidates who have received the most support in their state's popular vote. This process is crucial to the functioning of the electoral system in the U.S., as it translates the collective decision of voters into the election of the President and Vice President.

In contrast, delegates typically refer to individuals selected to represent voters at party conventions, representatives are elected officials who serve in legislative bodies such as Congress, and nominees are individuals selected to run for office. These distinctions make "elector" the correct term for members of the Electoral College.
