Political convention
In politics, a political convention is a meeting of a political party, typically to select party candidates.
In the United States, political convention usually refers to a U.S. presidential nominating convention. In Canada, a political convention held to chose a party leader is often known as a leadership convention.
Outside of the United States and Canada, national meetings of political parties are often called Party Congresses, or Party Conferences , as in the United Kingdom.
