- In the U.S., citizens vote for electors in the Electoral College, who then vote for the president and vice president.
- Fact: Each state has a number of electors equal to its total number of Senators and Representatives in Congress.

- Fact: Instant-runoff voting can save time and money by eliminating the need for a separate run-off election.
