==Political office== In the context of elections for public office, a candidate who has been selected to represent or is endorsed by a [[political party]] is said to be the party's nominee. The process of selection may be based on one or more [[Partisan primary|primary election]]s or by means of a [[political party]] [[political convention|convention]] or [[caucus]], according to the rules of the party and any applicable election [[law]]s. In some countries the process is called [[preselection]]. Public statements of support for a candidate's nomination are known as [[political endorsement|endorsements]] or [[testimonial]]s. In some jurisdictions the nominee of a recognized political party is entitled to appear on the [[general election]] [[ballot paper]]. Candidates who are endorsed by a political party may be required to submit a [[nominating petition]] in order to gain [[ballot access]]. In others all candidates have to meet [[nomination rules]] criteria to stand.
