As I understand it...

Each party selects its own set of electors that it thinks will vote for their candidates. Then whichever party's ticket wins the vote in that state gets to send their electors to the 'college', where they then cast their vote for (hopefully) that party's ticket. The only restriction that I know of is that they are not allowed to hold public office at the time of casting their electoral vote.
