Political parties are not mentioned in the Constitution. All the party election rules and procedures have been created piece by piece by the States since the Federalist Party started around 1800. All rules are ways to select the Electoral College voters assigned to each State by the Constitution (who then meet after the general election to vote for President). This is why there are a bewildering number of different election rules throughout the States. Each State has it's own unique way to select the Electoral College voters.
