In the American electoral system, a '''primary''' election is an election that determines the nominee for each [[political party]], who then competes for the office in the general election. A '''presidential primary''' is a state election that picks the delegates committed to nominate particular candidates for president of the United States.  A '''presidential caucus''', as in Iowa, requires voters to meet together for several hours in face-to-face meetings that select county delegates, who eventually pick the delegates to the national convention.  No other country uses primaries; they choose their candidates in party conventions.
