With regards to the United States, political party conventions have the responsibility of formally recognizing what individuals will be their nominated for the position of US president in the upcoming elections. The conventions also can serve the purpose of uniting competing factions within a party and put forward a platform that represents the current policies of the party. The conventions are televised and therefore can help influence the voting public.
