Few Things To Know About The US Election​ by Toyin1004(m): 10:14am On Dec 07, 2019
The most notable thing about the US presidential election for most anyone not living in America is just how long the campaign runs. We end up calling it “election season” because it goes on for so long. The first person to announce their candidacy this cycle was Ted Cruz on March 23, 2015. Election day is November 8, 2016. Yes, the campaign for president for long past a year before America votes. The system is broken down into basically two parts – the Primary and the General Election. The Primary comes first and that is when each of the political parties holds contests in each of the 50 states to select the party’s nominee for president. The final primary this cycle was held near the beginning of June.

Then the General Election kicks into full swing It’s very specifically spelled out in the US Constitution that the Presidential election is held on the “Tuesday following the first Monday in November.” The President is not elected by a simple nationwide popular vote, Of course, it must be slightly more complicated; we are talking about the United States. The president is elected by winning the “electoral college.” Essentially each of the US states is allotted a certain number of “electoral votes” For a candidate to win they must win the majority of the country’s electoral votes, which happens to be 270 votes. That’s why you will hear us constantly talking about “the road to 270.” Confused yet?
