I searched on google what it is but the way it explains just isn’t grasping with me.

It’s a very old fashioned way of doing a presidential primary.

In a “primary” election things run much like a normal election. Show up and vote on the day of the vote, at the end of the day the votes get counted and a winner announced.

In a primary, you show up AT A SPECIFIC TIME AND PLACE. A hands up kind of vote is taken, then everyone leaves. There’s no ballots, there’s no showing up at noon to vote early. It’s very much a “all the people in the room right now, do a show of hands”.
