What is the difference between a Primary and a General Election?
The United States holds two very different kinds of elections: primary and general. Both are important in determining the will of the people. This process finds out who the people want to run for each party, and then which party’s candidate they choose over the other party’s candidate. The primary election is the party nomination part of the election and the general election is the vote for the office-holder.
