The purpose of both is to narrow down the number of candidates that will ultimately be on the ballot. A caucas is a group within a party that discuss the potential candidates and determine which candidates most closely match their views on various issues. Then they decide from a few which candidate they feel is most electible. These candidates go on the primary ballot where the general public votes to decide who will represent their political party in the general election.
