Primaries are elections in which party members select their candidates for the general election, contrasting with general elections where the public votes for one of those candidates. Primaries are not exclusive to one party and occur at various intervals, unlike general elections that take place on a set schedule. Overall, the primary election process is essential for determining a party's nominee. ;
