Sometimes our Government and election process can be confusing for children and they can’t cover everything in school. This educational video for kids is here to break down how Primary Elections work. The 2024 Presidential election is approaching in November. But as you’ve probably heard on the news, there are smaller elections called Primaries where grown-ups will be voting to choose their candidate. With so many candidates running for their party’s nomination, American states hold Primary Elections to narrow it down, until there are only two major candidates to choose from. As the superhero U.S. Amy says, “With so many candidates, it’s hard to know what to do. So each state holds a Primary, until there are two.”
