What is a primary? How is it different from the caucuses that have taken place in Iowa and Nevada?

The Missouri primary process is much more straightforward than the caucuses that took place in other states. Participants simply go to their standard polling location and vote for their candidate of choice. The experience is very similar to participating in a general election.
