The primary election is the first period. It usually starts in the beginning of the presidential year and ends in the middle of year. It is time for the party candidates won the presidential candidate of their own party.

After the primary el ection, the two main parties, republican and democracy, will hold the representative meetings to decide the candidate and the presidential electoral platform.

After the meetings, the candidates will spend huge amounts of money on electoral journey, competition on advertisement, electoral speeches, meeting with electors and journalists and public debates in order to win over masses.

The popular vote is hel d on the day after the first Monday in November, that day is called Election Day. Now, for mostly American states, electors can vote in forty-five days before the Election Day.

American election works on the electoral college system. When

the electors vote, they need to elect not only the president but also the 538 electors to make up the electoral college in fifty states and District of Columbia. In most states, they wok on "Winner win all". It means if one wins the most votes of a states, he will gain all the votes of this states.

Among the nation,the one who gains at least 270 votes wins the election and becomes the president. The result will come out on the Election Day evening.

There are also some exceptions. If both candidates gain 269 votes, or neither of them gain 270 because of the third party, the president will be determined by the parliament.

The inauguration is the last step of presidential election. Until the January 20th in the next year the president takes an oath does the election announce to end finally.
