The United States presidential election of 2016, scheduled for Tuesday,
November 8, 2016, will be the 58th quadrennial U.S. presidential election.
Voters will select presidential electors who in turn will elect a new president
and vice president through the Electoral College. The term limit established in
the Twenty-second Amendment to the United States Constitution prevents the
incumbent President, Barack Obama, from being elected to a third term.
The series of presidential primary elections and caucuses is taking place between February 1 and June 2016, staggered among the 50 states, the District of Columbia and U.S. territories. This nominating process is also an indirect election, where voters cast ballots for a slate of delegates to a political party's nominating convention, who then in turn elect their party's presidential nominee.
