Delegates are typically chosen through a combination of primary elections and caucuses held by political parties. In primary elections, voters cast their ballots for their preferred candidates, and the results determine how many delegates each candidate receives. In caucuses, party members gather to discuss and vote on candidates, which also results in the allocation of delegates. Additionally, some delegates are appointed or selected by party leaders or local party organizations.
In the United States, a presidential candidate is selected through a series of primary elections and caucuses held in each state. Political parties hold these events to determine the candidate who will represent them in the general election. Delegates are awarded to candidates based on their performance in these events, and the candidate with the most delegates ultimately becomes the party's nominee for president.

Delegates for Congress are typically selected through a combination of primary elections and party caucuses, where party members choose their representatives based on the respective party's rules. Once elected, these delegates participate in the legislative process, which includes debating and voting on resolutions. A resolution is usually introduced, followed by discussions and amendments; then, a vote is taken, often requiring a simple majority for approval. The specific procedures can vary between the House of Representatives and the Senate, but the general process remains similar.
Delegates that attend national conventions are typically selected through a combination of state party primaries, caucuses, and party rules. Voters in each state participate in these processes to express their preferences for presidential candidates, which in turn influences the selection of delegates. The specific method can vary by state and party, but ultimately, party leaders and members play a significant role in choosing the delegates who represent them at the national level.
Caucuses. The delegates all attend the national party convention at the end of summer/beginning of fall and formally cast their votes for the candidates they already pledged their vote to. Candidates often drop out as the primaries go on if they feel they are not going to win. The delegates awarded to them then have to vote for someone else at the convention.
In the recent past, primaries were used both to select delegates and to
each state
