The election process, from candidacy announcement to inauguration, involves several key steps designed to ensure a fair and democratic transition of power.
After the announcement, candidates participate in primary elections or caucuses to compete for their party’s nomination. Primaries are elections where voters select their preferred candidate, while caucuses are meetings where party members discuss and vote for candidates.
The process starts when a candidate formally announces their run for office usually at a public event.

On Election Day, voters across the United States cast their ballots, typically on the first Tuesday in November. The outcome of the popular vote plays a key role in deciding the winner of the Electoral College in each state.
The process ends with the inauguration, a ceremonial occasion during which the new president takes the oath of office and presents an inaugural speech detailing their vision for the country.
In the middle of December, the Electoral College convenes to officially vote for the president and vice president. These votes are then certified by Congress in early January.
