Two convention delegates may be chosen by people and party leaders.
In the election year political parties of the United States held a national convention to choose their presidential nominee. This election is made by delegates who vote for the presidential candidate they think will win.
Delegates are elected by each political party's rules. While rules and formulas may change from year to year there are two constants that remain: The Primary and The Caucus.
The Primary:
Primary elections are held in states level and are open to all registered voters. Delegates may support their candidate or give their vote to the primary winner at the national convention. There are two types of primary elections: Closed (Voters only vote in the primary of their political party) and Open (Voters can vote in either political party but they can only vote once).
The Caucus:
Caucus are meetings were delegates to the National Convention are selected. This is where the party calculates how many votes the candidate has won.
