Background
Electoral system
The president and vice president of the Confederate States are elected through the Electoral College, determined by the number of senators and representatives with an additional three representatives for Northcliff Federal District. A majority of 270 votes is needed to win the election. All states use a winner-take-all system, in which states award all of their electors to the winner of the popular vote. Electoral votes will be cast by state electors in 1762.9 and are counted by Congress on 1762.10. Presidential candidates are selected in a presidential primary, conducted through primary elections run by state governments or caucuses run by state parties which bind convention delegates to candidates. A brokered convention occurs when a candidate does not receive a majority of votes on the first round of voting, or when a candidate withdraws.
