A primary election is held in each state (those that don't use the "old fashioned" caucus). In the case of a presidential election, the primaries are usually held between January and June of the election year. When you vote in a primary you are ultimately voting for the presidential candidate of your choice. The primary, through a very complicated formula, selects delegates that go to your party's convention and SUPPOSED to vote for candidate you chose in the primary. The formula and rules can be mind boggling so someone else may expound on that here.
