Electing a President Practice Test

The general-election recount process, where states schedule primaries to ensure uniform ballot design for the November popular vote.

The inauguration timetable, where states delay primaries so the president has more time to appoint Cabinet officials before taking office.

The Electoral College tie procedure, where states move primaries later so the House can more easily pick the president in January.

The unit rule, where parties require states to cast all convention votes for the statewide primary runner-up rather than the winner.

Front-loading, where many states hold early primaries to gain influence, often accelerating momentum and narrowing choices quickly in the nomination race.
