From Election Day to Inauguration Day
Voters choose electors rather than the president directly. A candidate needs a majority of the 538 electoral votes — at least 270 — to win.
The electors cast their votes in December, Congress counts them in early January, and the new term begins at noon on January 20, 2029.
