There is a series of primary elections held in the states, followed by a national convention for each party held at different places each time. The primaries commit a certain number of delegates to vote for the winner of their primary on the first ballot, but after that, they can vote however they wish. Not all of the states have primaries and there are some super-delegates , such as congressmen and such that are independent of primary results. The final, official nominations are made at the national conventions.
A caucus was the earliest method used by American political parties for choosing a candidate. A caucus is a closed door meeting that is conducted by one political party. During this meeting the people would cast their vote and the candidate with the most votes would be chosen as the candidate.
An early method of nominating political candidates required meetings called caucuses. At a caucus people decided on candidates based on the difference between their negative and positive aspects. Caucuses are used today and are very important in the nomination process.
Until 1824, all the Presidents were founding fathers. Nominees were chosen by state legislatures or by member of Congress or by some combination thereof. From 1828 on, the parties have held national nomination conventions for the purpose of choosing a candidates. Most states give their delegates instructions on how to vote on the first ballot. These instructions come from (1) primary elections, (2) caucuses throughout the state or (3) the state convention. In some states and parties, some "super"-delegates are not given instructions, but can vote as they choose.
