Overview of US Presidential Nomination Process
The presidential nomination process in the US involves a calendar of cascading nomination contests in different states. There are two primary types of nomination contests: a primary and a caucus. In primary contests, people go to the polls and vote for the candidate they want. In caucus contests, people attend town meetings, listen to campaign surrogates, and vote. The first-in-the-nation primary in New Hampshire is particularly important as candidates have to personally engage with voters and compete for unaffiliated votes. The nomination process allows candidates to build momentum and requires them to file in all 50 states individually.
