Usually in the first round of the US presidential election, the final candidates are nominated by the two major parties. The first phase elections are held in two modes. One is caucus, the other is primary. A caucus is a method of election in which the Republican or Democratic parties select their party nominees by holding an open vote among party supporters in various states.
A primary election is a system in which elections are held at the expense of a state government. In this system the voters of the state go to the polling station and vote by secret ballot to elect the candidate of their choice. In the primary election, the two first methods have already been mentioned. The second method is ‘closed’ primary. It is arranged to take separate votes for the two main parties. Members of the Democratic Party and any voter can vote in the Democratic primary. Party members and general voters can vote in the Republican primary.
Caucuses are held in several states of the United States, while primaries are held in several states. Some states hold general primaries, while others hold closed primaries. According to US tradition, the first caucus of the presidential election is usually held in Iowa. This caucus is held in January or February of the presidential election year.
According to the data, Trump received 53.82 percent of the vote and Haley received 44 percent and 72 percent of the vote in the contest between the two rivals of the party Donald Trump and Nikki Haley in the Republican primary of New Hampshire.
