Comment sont sélectionnées les villes hôtes olympiques ?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>model
Olympic host cities are selected through a bidding process. This multi-phased process is overseen by the International Olympic Committee (IOC):

1. Continuous Dialogue:

This non-committal stage involves cities and their National Olympic Committees (NOCs) discussing their vision for the Games with the IOC's Future Host Commissions.
Cities work on master plans and logistical details, with flexibility in format (one city, multiple cities, or even across countries).

2. Candidature Phase:

Interested cities formally express their interest to the IOC by submitting a letter of intent.
This triggers a detailed questionnaire and evaluation process by the IOC.
Shortlisted candidates prepare a comprehensive bid document outlining their vision, venues, budget, and legacy plans.

3. Working Group and Evaluation:

The IOC forms a Working Group to assess each bid document against strict criteria covering infrastructure, finance, sustainability, and Games concepts.
An Evaluation Commission visits each shortlisted city to inspect venues and infrastructure and meet with stakeholders.

4. Technical Evaluation Report:

The Evaluation Commission submits a detailed report to the IOC Executive Board, highlighting the strengths and weaknesses of each bid.
This report is confidential but may be summarized for public information.

5. Host City Election:

The final stage involves all active IOC members voting on the host city during an IOC Session, typically held 7 years before the Games.
Each member casts one secret ballot, with a majority vote required to win.<end_of_turn><eos>
