After the nominations, the next procedure - a bit of theater called the Roll Call of the States - takes place. While the person who clinched the nomination is almost always already known, the delegate totals for each candidate are announced.

Determining each party’s presidential candidate is simple - the contender who holds a majority of the delegates wins the nomination.

Unsuccessful White House seekers often pledge their support at the convention to the one who will get their party’s nod.

For both major parties, the final evening comes to a climax with the candidate’s acceptance speech.

The conventions end with a splash of confetti and cheers. The next morning, the candidates start the roughly two months of strenuous campaigning that lead to the first Tuesday in November, and for one of them, the White House.
