A presidential election cycle is the process leading up to the presidential election. It encompasses primaries, caucuses, party conventions, campaigning, and, ultimately, the election of a new president.

During a primary election registered members of a political party vote on their party's candidate for the presidency. Primaries are held before each party’s convention.
