A primary election is a ballot to pick a candidate to contest another election at a later date, usually on behalf of a political party. They are commonly used by political parties across the democratic world to select candidates for elections to public office. In a political party's primary, multiple people from the same party all seek that party's nomination for another office (e.g., President or Member of Parliament). The winner of party primaries then go on to contest the main election, usually later in the same year.
