Les élections primaires sont une particularité du système américain. Contrairement à ce que l'on peut penser, celles-ci n'ont rien à voir avec un scrutin officiel. Dans certains États, votent aux primaires uniquement les membres en règle d'un parti. Dans d'autres États, tous les électeurs reçoivent deux bulletins de vote, pour chaque parti, et votent en faveur d'un candidat. 1, record 1, French, - primaire
