在总统选举中，继各州初选结束后，每个党派都会举行一次全国党代会正式选出总统候选人 – 通常为在预选中确保最多党代会代表支持的候选人。

提名者接下来会选择一名竞选搭档作为该党派的副总统候选人，这名候选人也必须获得党代会批准。

共和党全国党代会将于2016年7月18-21日在俄亥俄州克利夫兰举行。民主党全国党代会将于2016年7月25-28日在宾夕法尼亚州费城举行。

#US-Primaries – What is a political convention? 

In presidential elections, after state primaries are concluded, each party holds a national convention to formally select the presidential nominee — usually the candidate who secured the support of the most convention delegates through the primaries. 

The nominee then chooses a running mate to be the party’s candidate for vice president, who must also be approved by the convention.  

The Republican National Convention will be in Cleveland, Ohio, July 18-21, 2016.  The Democratic National Convention will be in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, July 25-28, 2016.
