To be nominated as a major party's candidate for president of the United States requires endurance. The process can be confusing to voters, but the basics are clear. First, the candidate must comply with each state's legal requirements to get his or her name listed for the primary elections and caucuses. Then, the candidate must campaign and win votes in the primaries and caucuses. Those votes determine how many delegates supporting that candidate will attend the Party's nominating convention. The various state elections stretch over many months, from February to June. At last, the summer before the election, the Party holds its national convention. There, all the states' delegates gather to formally select their Party's presidential candidate.
