When do Americans vote for the President?

Answer 1

The Presidential Electors are chosen (nowadays all by popular vote) every fourth year on the first Tuesday after the first Monday in November. The Electors in their turn vote for President and Vice-President on the first Monday after the second Wednesday in December

It appears that the question is not about the US Electoral College. It's intention is to ask about the every four years presidential elections held in November. Based on the results of the popular elections, the candidate winning a majority of the popular votes in a state thus controls the voting in the Electoral College.

Answer 2

In the United States, Presidential elections occur every four years. They are held on the first Tuesday following November 1 in years evenly divisible by four (e.g., 2004, 2008, 2012, etc.). The actual calendar date varies between November 2 and November 8. They are part of the federal general elections which elect Congress as well as the President.

Answer 3

The Presidential elections in the United States occur once every four years, on the Tuesday following the first Monday in November. The most recent election was Tuesday, November 4, 2008; the next election will be November 6, 2012.

The years of the Presidential elections are evenly divisible by 4.

Answer 4

The entire electoral college does not meet together in one place. Electors meet in their respective state capitals (electors for the District of Columbia meet within the District) on the Monday after the second Wednesday in December, at which time they cast their electoral votes on separate ballots for president and vice-president. Each state then forwards the election results to the President of the U.S. Senate, the Archivist of the United States, the state's Secretary of State, and the chief judge of the United States district court where those electors met. A joint session of Congress takes place on January 6 in the calendar year immediately following the meetings of the presidential electors. The electoral votes are officially tabulated at the joint session of Congress and the winner of the election is officially declared. The sitting vice-president is expected to preside at the joint session. In several cases the President pro tempore of the Senate has chaired the proceedings.

Answer 5

The Presidential elections in the United States occur once every four years, on the Tuesday following the first Monday in November. The most recent election was Tuesday, November 6, 2012; the next election will be November 8, 2016.
