A gathering especially for the purpose of promoting political or organizational change. In American election politics, the term refers to a meeting of local party activists during the nomination of presidential candidates. The so-called "hierarchical" pre election system refers to the system in which local activists of political parties elect representatives to participate in the meetings of the higher administrative regions at the local constituency meetings, which then elect representatives to participate in the meetings of the state level, and finally the representatives of the state level meetings elect representatives to participate in the national nomination Congress of the party. The purpose of the caucus system is to show the party's presidential candidates that the party members in the states want to recommend by selecting representatives who support a certain candidate. This practice starts the process of determining presidential candidates at the grass-roots level and therefore democratizes the presidential nomination process.
