Candidate Selection Procedure In The United States And The European Union
In the United States, a candidate is selected by a primary, a caucus, or a convention. In contrast, there is an intra-party system in much of the European Union. In many parties and countries, the individual party members choose candidates, whereas in others candidates are selected by high-ranking members of the party. It is rare for the general public to select party candidates.
