Primaries and caucuses are two ways that people help states and political parties choose presidential nominees.
Presidential primaries
Most states hold primaries 6-9 months before a presidential election. Primary voters choose their preferred candidate anonymously by casting secret ballots. The state where the primary is held takes the results of the vote into account to award delegates to the winners.
