Primary: an election in a state to select political party’s candidates for the general election. In closed primaries, only members of the political party can vote. In open primaries, all the voters can take part.

Caucus: a meeting of party members to choose candidates runs an election. In some states, Democrats and Republicans will hold caucuses to determine which candidate to choose for president.

Super Tuesday: a day on which several states hold primaries or caucuses. It usually takes place in February or March of a presidential election year.  It makes it easier to hold the primaries and caucuses.  The primaries and caucuses that follow are easier to hold. The people earn states in the primaries and caucuses
