Once upon a time, there was a small town where it was time for the primary election to choose their next leader. The primary was a special election where the citizens of the town would gather to pick their favorite candidate who they wanted to represent their party in the main election.

The citizens of the town were very excited and were eager to cast their votes. They gathered at the caucus, a meeting where they would discuss and choose their preferred candidate. The people of the town talked and listened to what each candidate had to say. They wanted to make sure they picked the best person for the job.

After the caucus, the citizens cast their votes and the votes were counted. The candidate with the most votes was declared the winner of the primary election. This candidate would now represent their party in the main election.

The winner was thrilled and started their campaign for the main election. They set up their campaign headquarters and started to work hard to win the hearts and minds of the town's citizens. They talked to the people, listened to their concerns, and promised to make the town a better place.

The main election day arrived, and the citizens of the town went to the polls to cast their votes. Each vote was important, and it was the job of the elector, a special person chosen to cast the official vote, to make sure each vote was counted correctly.

In the end, the candidate who received the most votes was declared the winner of the main election. They became the new leader of the town and worked hard to keep their promises. The town was a better place because of their hard work and dedication.

The end.
