The thing is - you traditionally didn’t “elect” electors - they were chosen by the party boss of the political party that won the presidency.
It’s still done that way in most states but some have made them selected by a state appointed committee or picked by the governor of the state, etc; constitutionally the state gets to decide how.

You do vote for your electors, you go to the polls and vote.

Well, ‘traditionally’ (last two elections) I have helped select the electors for my party in my State... ‘Twas great fun.

The other parties picked their slates of candidates.
