7. When and where are the candidates for president selected by the Republicans and Democrats? (Lesson 4, page 6)

1 answer

Candidates for president are selected by the Republicans and Democrats during their respective national conventions, which occur in the summer of an election year. Prior to the conventions, candidates compete in primaries and caucuses across the states to accumulate delegates. These delegates then cast their votes at the national conventions to formally nominate the party's candidate for president. The specific locations and dates can vary with each election cycle. If you are referring to a specific lesson or textbook, it would be best to consult that directly for any additional details or contexts.
