  • America's two main political parties, the Democrats and the Republicans, choose their respective nominees through party-sponsored contests in each state and territory.

    The process starts in February and takes up to five months.

    Once each party has a candidate, they go on campaigning until the general election in November.

    The caucuses are administered separately by each major party, and Republicans and Democrats have different rules.

    Credits:
  • Since 1972, the Iowa caucuses have been the first major electoral event of the nominating process for President of the United States.

    Results in Iowa caucuses provide a snapshot of a candidate's popularity, organizing ability and momentum.

    Republican and Democratic top contenders

  • While Real Estate Mogul Donald Trump, Texas Senator Ted Cruz and Florida Senator Marco Rubio are the top Republican contenders, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders are the lead contenders of Democratic party.

  • Republicans

    How does GOP Caucuses work?

    How does GOP Caucuses work?
  • The GOP (Republican) contest is simple. Here an ordinary secret ballot vote on presidential candidates will be conducted.

    Each campaign gets the chance to have a representative make a final pitch to any wavering voters before a secret ballot.

    Raw totals of votes are tallied by local party officials and sent to the Iowa GOP headquarters, where a running count is kept.

  • Democrats

    Credits:
  • The Democratic caucus system is an intrinsic process.

    In order to be considered "viable," a group must clear a certain threshold (~15%) of the entire caucus turnout in each precinct.

    After the first-round vote tally, candidates who are not "viable" get eliminated.

    Supporters of eliminated candidates can align with a candidate who passes the threshold, during a second count called the re-alignment period.
