Understanding American Elections: How Does It Work?

Learning Objective

Slide 1: Overview of American Elections

American elections are held every four years to elect the President and Vice President. The process involves primaries, caucuses, and the electoral college.

Slide 2: Primaries and Caucuses

Primaries and caucuses are the initial stages where political parties select their candidates for the general election. They involve voting and meetings to determine party support.

Slide 3: The General Election

The general election is when voters cast their ballots for the presidential and vice-presidential candidates. It takes place on the first Tuesday after the first Monday in November.

Slide 4: The Electoral College

The electoral college is a group of electors who officially elect the President and Vice President. Each state has a certain number of electors based on its representation in Congress.

Slide 5: Key Players in American Elections

Key players include candidates, political parties, voters, the media, and election officials. Each plays a crucial role in the election process.

Slide 6: Voter Registration and Eligibility

To participate in the American elections, individuals must register to vote and meet eligibility requirements such as age, citizenship, and residency.
