True.
general election
A presidential primary refers to election of each party's candidate. A general election on the other hand is an election involving all candidates selected by their respective parties.
presidential primary
Yes. Voting (or not) in primaries has nothing to do with your ability to vote in the general election.
That is an election held by a political party as part of the process of nominating a candidate to represent the party in the presidential election.
Run-off primary
Caucus and Primary Election
This process in general is refered to as the primary process.
Runoff
Runoff
a process by which members of a political party choose the candidates who will run for election.
Both are indications of the voters choice of a candidate; however, at an election the campaigning occurs prior to the election and at a cacus there is much fanfare and types of lobbying during an at the voting. There are no rules of staying certain distances from the voting places. I think of a cacus as a type of "free-for-all" voting party!
