What happens if no candidate gets a majority of electoral college votes?
🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Under the 12th amendment to the US constitution, the House of Representatives elects the president.
Each state delegation, however, has only one vote, which means that the majority party in each delegation controls the vote. An absolute majority of states is required for election.
The vice-president is chosen by the Senate, with senators having an individual vote.
This has happened only once since 1804, when the electoral college system took its current shape with the 12th amendment.
In 1824, four candidates split the electoral vote, denying any one of them a majority.
Democrat Andrew Jackson had the most electoral votes and the greatest share of popular votes and expected to be president.
But the fourth-place finisher, House Speaker Henry Clay, thought little of Jackson and persuaded the House to back second-place finisher John Quincy Adams. Adams was voted in as president.
