Delegates from all the states and US territories meet at the national convention. Nominations for president are the first order of business. Speeches are made to put names in nomination. Some of the delegates are already committed to one candidate by a primary election or caucus. Some are uncommitted or else or committed to a favorite son who is not a serious candidate. Deals are made and balloting begins by roll call vote of the states in alphabetical order. After each vote is announced, there is often a demonstration in favor of their candidate, If one candidates gets a majority, everybody changes their vote to make it unanimous. If not, more deals are made and another ballot taken. After a presidential candidate is nominated, he makes an acceptance speech. Next a vice-presidential candidate is chosen by balloting and finally a platform is approved.
