What is the difference between the national and state conventions?

The national and state conventions in North Dakota are two separate events that follow different procedures. The national convention is the process of nominating a candidate for president of the United States every four years. At this event, representatives from each party come together to select a presidential nominee and set the party’s platform for the election. It is typically held during the summer of an election year and is broadcast live on television. Meanwhile, the state convention is held every two years in North Dakota to select a party’s candidates for state offices. At this convention, delegates representing each county in the state take part in several different activities, including electing a party’s executive committee, voting on resolutions, and choosing delegates to attend the national convention. The state convention also serves as a forum to discuss issues important to the party and to hear from potential candidates for office.
