In France voters go the polls to elect the president whereas in America voter go to the polls to elect the electoral college According to you what do the electors of the electoral college do?
First off, the general public do not elect the voters in the electoral college. Those chosen to cast a vote as an elector are appointed to this position. After the popular vote in each state has been tallied, the electors of that state, (however many there are) cast all of their state's electoral votes for the candidate their state chose. However, this system was designed to prevent the popular vote from making a bad choice for President. Because of this, the electors in the Electoral College have the ability to change their vote and give it to the other candidate. The number of votes given to each state is based on that state's population. That is why, for example, California has more than fifty electoral votes while some states have only two or three.

What is the meaning of fist past the post?
The expression is "First past the post". It means - the first person wins, with no prizes for the others. The term is used to describe the British electoral system, where each constituency has many candidates, but only one person can win, and become the representative of the constituency. In contrast, in the Irish electoral system, each constituency returns two or three representatives. This electoral system is not a "first past the post" system.
How do you change electoral system?
The U.S. electoral system was created in 1788 by the United States Constitution. The first U.S. presidential election was in 1789. George Washington was elected as the first president of the United States. The election was conducted under the new United States Constitution, which had been ratified earlier in 1788. In the election, George Washington received all 69 electoral votes and was unanimously elected president. John Adams was elected vice-president. Since 1788 the U.S. electoral system has been modified by amendment to the United States Constitution. Further changes to the U.S. electoral system would require additional amendment to the United States Constitution.
