This system of voting is the Electoral College.

Explanation:

The Electoral College is the formal body which elects the President and Vice President of the United States. When voters go to the polls in a Presidential election, they actually are voting for the slate of electors vowing to cast their ballots for that ticket in the Electoral College.
