Respuesta :
first the candidate must be chosen as the representative for the parties they would be standing for by the process of the primaries then the citizens vote on the president by state then the votes of the states will determine how many electoral college votes the man/woman may recieve to become president
presidents are elected by first popular vote (this is when your parents vote :) )
BUT.... then, the president is actually chosen by the electoral college ( each state has a certain amount of votes) the number for a candidate to become president is the number 270.
