In the United States, major political parties select their official candidates primarily through a series of state primaries and caucuses, where party members vote for their preferred candidate. The results from these events determine how many delegates each candidate receives, culminating in a party convention where delegates formally nominate the candidate with the majority support. Additionally, parties may have different rules and processes for candidate selection, such as open or closed primaries, which affect who can vote in these elections. Ultimately, the candidate who secures the most delegates through this process becomes the party’s official nominee for the general election.

The blanket primary is a system used for selecting political party candidates in a primary election in the USA. In a blanket primary voters may pick one candidate for each office without regard to party lines; for instance, a voter might select a Democratic candidate for governor and a Republican candidate for senator. The candidates with the highest votes by party for each office advance to the general election, as the respective party's nominee.
