    Answer: Absolute majority votes.

    Explanation:

    The Electoral College process consists of the selection, the meeting of the electors where they vote for President and Vice President, and counting of the electoral votes done by the congress.

    A majority of electoral votes (which is 270 of 538) is required to win. In a situation where no candidate receives a majority, the House of Representatives elects the President and the Vice President is elected by the Senate, a process known as contingent election.
