When the voters go to the polls November 6, they will vote for their presi dential choice (creating a popular vote) Nevertheless, the elec toral college has the final vote. The electoral col lege is made up of dele gates that equal to the state’s two senators plus the number of its House of Representatives. Thus, N.C. will have 13 electors or 13 electoral votes. To illustrate the difference, Calitornia will have 47. The electors will usually vote for the presidential candidate in his or her party The electoral col lege votes December 17, The votes aren't counted until January 6. Some po litical analysts believe that because the 6th falls on a ercise its right to delay the vote counting until the next day. The candidate who re ceives at least 270 of the 538 electoral votes will gain the presidency.
