A national primary day is a proposed method for conducting all United States presidential preference primaries and caucuses on the same day. In general, presidential preference primaries and caucuses are conducted on different days in different states; in addition, presidential primaries and caucuses are held under different rules than primaries for other offices. A national primary would, by contrast, be a single election conducted across all states; the winner would become the party's nominee. A national primary day was first proposed in 1911; between 1911 and 2012, over 125 bills on the subject had been introduced in the United States Congress.[1][2]
