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.
