The National Archives and Records Administration's own account of the Electoral College process it administers: the Article II and 12th Amendment basis, the certificate-of-ascertainment and elector-meeting calendar, and the role of the Office of the Federal Register.

Reliability Tier1
National Archives and Records Administration: the official U.S. federal government repository for historical records and the body that administers the Electoral College process itself. Its own page confirms the Article II and 12th Amendment basis and the certification calendar; it does not state a founding year, which this atlas records as 1787 to match its own United States Constitution entity.
