US Presidential Polls: Trump takes Utah, builds healthy lead

Washington, Nov 9 (IBNS): Republican nominee Donald Trump took a stride forward towards the Oval Office as he won Utah and is likely to win Alaska, reports said.

Trump now leads Hillary Clinton 247-215.

An election for President of the United States occurs every four years.

The election process begins with the primary elections and caucuses and moves to nominating conventions, during which political parties each select a nominee to unite behind.

The nominee also announces a Vice Presidential running mate at this time.

The candidates then campaign across the country to explain their views and plans to voters and participate in debates with candidates from other parties.

During the general election, Americans head to the polls to cast their vote for President. But the tally of those votes—the popular vote—does not determine the winner. Instead, Presidential elections use the Electoral College.

To win the election, a candidate must receive a majority of electoral votes.

In the event no candidate receives the majority, the House of Representatives chooses the President and the Senate chooses the Vice President.

A candidate needs the vote of at least 270 electors—more than half—to win the Presidential election.
