 Introduction:

In democratic systems, elections play a crucial role in selecting public officials. Various types of elections and primaries determine which candidates make it to the final stage. Understanding these processes helps clarify how leaders are chosen.

Explanation:
The process of choosing candidates involves several steps. First, parties hold primaries or caucuses to select their nominees. These can be closed primaries (only party members vote), indirect primaries (delegates select the nominee), or caucuses (party meetings to choose candidates). Once nominees are selected, the final contest to decide who will hold office is held.
