In presidential election campaigns in the
USA, an election to decide the candidates for
the major parties. Held in 35 states,
primaries begin with New Hampshire in Feb and
continue until June, and operate under
varying complex rules. Generally speaking,
the number of votes received by a candidate
governs the number of delegates who will vote
for that person at the national conventions
in July/Aug, when the final choice of
candidate for both Democratic and Republican
parties is made.
