One of the roles of the International Olympic Committee （IOC） is to choose the host city for the Olympic Games．The host city election takes place in a country which does not have a candidate city for the Olympics in question．Except for unusual circumstances，the election is held seven years before the Olympic Games take place．There have been two phases leading to the election of the host city since December 1999．
Phase 1：applicant cities
Any city that wishes to host the Olympic Games must be proposed to the IOC by its National Olympic Committee （NOC），with a letter from the city itself．During the first phase，which lasts around ten months，each applicant city must answer a questionnaire to provide general information about itself．Then the applications will be examined carefully．A number of things will be considered，such as government support，public opinion，general infrastructure（基礎(chǔ)設(shè)施），safety，accommodations and transport．The IOC Executive Board（執(zhí)行董事會）will determine which applicant cities will be accepted as candidate cities．Only candidate cities can continue with the procedure．
Phase 2：candidate cities
Candidate cities must provide a candidature（候選資格）file according to the instructions given by the IOC．After all the files are examined and the IOC Evaluation Commission（評估委員會）produces its report，the IOC Executive Board draws up a list of final candidate cities．The general assembly of the IOC then takes a vote on the host city．
