(political parties)
delegates are usually chosen during a primary or caucus depending on the state your in. Delegates who attend national party conventions are chosen by the members of the particular political party.
Delegates that attend national conventions are typically selected through a combination of state party primaries, caucuses, and party rules. Voters in each state participate in these processes to express their preferences for presidential candidates, which in turn influences the selection of delegates. The specific method can vary by state and party, but ultimately, party leaders and members play a significant role in choosing the delegates who represent them at the national level.

Delegates are representatives chosen by state political parties, who attend political conventions. A Democratic or Republican delegate is a representative of his or her state political party, who convenes with fellow delegates at the party's political convention to select a political candidate who will represent the party in upcoming elections.
15 delegates did not attend. 70 were chosen to attend but only 55 attended.
These are the people who will attend the convention for their states and will vote as a block for the candidate to run for president.
Florida was supposed to have 210 delegates. However the Democratic National Convention stripped Florida of all of its delegates because it broke party rules by having its primary before February 5.

Caucuses. The delegates all attend the national party convention at the end of summer/beginning of fall and formally cast their votes for the candidates they already pledged their vote to. Candidates often drop out as the primaries go on if they feel they are not going to win. The delegates awarded to them then have to vote for someone else at the convention.
