When the United States first gained independence they gave specific instructions on how to select electors and presidents in Article 2, Section 1 of the U.S. Constitution. During that time electors could vote for 2 different candidates and whoever lost would become vice president. But this led to controversies in the elections of 1796 and 1800. In response to this, Congress ratified the 12th Amendment. It clarified the processes of how electors vote. But it also clarified what to do in case of an electoral tie. In that case the House of Representatives chooses the President by ballot and the Senate chooses the Vice President by ballot. This is also used in case neither candidate wins 270 electoral votes.

This process takes 12-16 months.

The first thing a person needs to do if they plan on running for President is announcing their candidacy.

Then they will begin to campaign for her party's nomination (nomination campaigning).

That person will then begin to participate in various caucuses and primary elections taking place in each individual state.

That is when the general voting public will be voting to help choose the party's nominee. It is this moment that the candidate will need to focus on state elections before nationwide because if they don't win their party's nomination then they will not be going anywhere.

After some time a Nomination Party will be held and it is where political parties will announce their candidate.
