In a United States presidential election, the popular vote is the total number or the percentage of votes cast for a candidate by voters in the 50 states and Washington, D.C.; the candidate who gains the most votes nationwide is said to have won the popular vote. However, the popular vote is not used to determine who is elected as the nation's president or vice president. Thus it is possible for the winner of the popular vote to end up losing the election, an outcome that has occurred on five occasions, most recently in the 2016 election. This is because presidential elections are indirect elections; the votes cast on Election Day are not cast directly for a candidate, but for members of the Electoral College. The Electoral College's electors then formally elect the president and vice pres

  • Aux États-Unis, le vote populaire national désigne la somme de tous les suffrages exprimés en faveur des différents candidats, dans la totalité des États des États-Unis et du District de Columbia lors des élections présidentielles. L'écart entre le président élu et son principal rival est très suivi car le Douzième Amendement à la Constitution des États-Unis prévoit la procédure par laquelle le Président et le Vice-Président sont élus, via un Collège Électoral accordant un nombre fixe de grands électeurs à chaque État, de sorte qu'ils peuvent être élus sans avoir obtenu la majorité du vote national.
