The purpose of primaries and caucuses is to allow political parties to select their candidates for the general election. Primaries and caucuses give voters the opportunity to participate in the selection process and help determine the party's nominee for various positions, including presidential, congressional, and gubernatorial races. These events are held at the state level and are used to gauge popular support for the candidates within the party. Ultimately, the goal of primaries and caucuses is to democratically choose the most viable candidate to represent the party in the general election.
