There are no set qualifications for being an elector. Members of Congress and certain other federal officeholders are not allowed to be electors. The Constitution lets state legislatures decide how the electors are chosen. In many states, the legislature leaves the decision up to the political parties or the candidates themselves. The political parties use the job of elector as a reward for important people in the party.

Should the Electoral College be abolished? If so, then what should we do instead? If not, then explain why we should keep it.
