I'd say the two words would be "college" or "vote(s)", but the one used more often would be "vote(s)".

My logic for favoring "vote(s)" would be that "electoral college" (it seems to me) would be used primarily when people were talking about the institution, which would be relatively theoretical, and less often than they would talk about the more practical political consideration of the number of electoral votes a state had, or the number of electoral votes needed to become president.
