Answer 1

The purpose of primaries and caucuses is to determine party delegate votes. These delegates will then attend the party's national convention and vote for the party's nominee for president. The nominee will compete in the general election to be elected as the President of the United States. The process of primaries and caucuses is used by political parties to select their candidates, rather than directly electing the president or members of Congress.
