Do the voters elect electors not the presidential candidates
The two major parties in the United States, the Democratic and Republican parties, typically select their presidential and vice presidential candidates during their national conventions, which occur in the summer of election years. Delegates from each state gather to formally nominate their chosen candidates based on the results of the primary elections and caucuses held earlier in the year. The presidential candidates often announce their running mates shortly before or during the convention, solidifying the ticket for the general election.
In the US, the presidential and vice-presidential candidates for a party are announced at the party's respective convention. Both the Democratic and the Republican ones occured in fall of 2008.
