It is not a primary election. A national party convention is an election convention in which delegates from the 50 states cast their votes in support of the new nominee. This event usually takes place after the primary elections and is considered the beginning of the campaign for the general election.

There was a time when these conventions were important in choosing a nominee. Today presidential nominees are usually known months ahead of a national convention.
