How does voting work in America?
Caucuses and primaries start off the presidential election process in the United States. During nominating conventions, all parties choose a nominee to represent them, along with a Vice Presidential nominee. The candidates proceed with campaigning to get their stances and issues and views across to all citizens. They then take part in several presidential debates, and then the voters head to the polls to cast their popular votes. Their selections do not determine the overall winner, as the electors of the Electoral College cast their own votes. The candidate who receives the majority of the electoral votes is declared the winner of the election and is inaugurated as President.
