In a primary election, candidates are individuals seeking nomination from their political party to run for a specific office in the general election. Primaries can be open, allowing all voters to participate, or closed, restricting participation to registered party members. This process helps parties determine their official candidate and can involve multiple rounds, especially in larger fields. Ultimately, the primary serves as a critical step in the electoral process, shaping the choices available to voters in the general election.

A primary election occurs before the general election, and is used to choose the nominee for the major political parties. Once a person wins the total votes necessary for nomination, they will be nominated at the party's National Convention.
