A preliminary election where delegates or nominees are chosen is often referred to as a primary election. In this process, voters select their preferred candidates from within a political party to compete in the general election. Primaries can be either open, allowing any registered voter to participate, or closed, restricting participation to registered party members. The outcomes of these elections play a crucial role in determining the candidates who will represent each party in the general election.
Delegates in an election are individuals chosen to represent a political party at a convention, often to nominate a candidate for a specific office, such as the presidency. They are typically selected during primary elections or caucuses and are responsible for casting votes based on the preferences of their constituents or party affiliation. The number of delegates each candidate receives is usually proportional to the votes they receive in these preliminary contests. Delegates play a crucial role in shaping party platforms and determining the party's nominee for the general election.
