Elections 2012
Are you a journalist interested in going on a press tour during the presidential election campaigns? Would you like to learn more about how the electoral system works, or how the process to find a candidate works?
On the Foreign Press Center site you can find information about Press Tours, list of candidates, election calendars, and information about the U.S. presidential election process. This site will also be regularly updated with the latest Foreign Press Center briefings.
Another good source of information is this Youtube video, which explains how the party not in the White House goes about to pick a candidate to run against the incumbent President.
