Donald Trump has the necessary number of Electoral Votes to win the election.
State electors voted on Tuesday to cast their vote for President.
After the formal vote, it heads to Congress for the official certification.
President-elect Trump has clinched the necessary number of Electoral College votes to become the next occupant of the White House, teeing up the official certification of his victory before Congress next month.
Each state’s electors were required to meet on Tuesday to cast their votes for president and vice president before the results are officially certified. Trump needed to win 270 electoral votes in order to set him on the official path to be sworn into the Oval Office, which he did Tuesday afternoon, according to CNN and The Washington Post.
In the Electoral College’s quirky system, voters are technically casting ballots for their presidential candidate’s slate of electors. Most of the time, whichever candidate wins the state sees their slate of electors cast their ballots, with Nebraska and Maine being the two exceptions.
Electors then meet in December, specifically the first Tuesday after the second Wednesday in the month, where they officially cast their votes, otherwise known as a Certificate of Vote. Those certificates must be sent to several locations, including Congress, by Dec. 25.
