Countries/Cities place their name in for consideration. They have to show that they can provide the necessary facilities and / or have the backing to finance the building of the necessary facilities. The Olympic Committee then considers the various offers, along with considering the previous places it has been, the travel facilities in the area, the safety of the city/country. Then they make their announcements.

This is how the process will work in Copenhagen:

First, the presentations: Each city will tell its story Friday for the final time in 45-minute presentations with another 15 minutes for IOC members' questions. In an order determined by drawing lots last year, Chicago goes first, followed by Tokyo, Rio and Madrid.

Then the 106 IOC members vote -- or don't

The 106 eligible members -- not all are guaranteed to be on hand -- vote secretly by pressing numbered buttons (one for each candidate) on machines.

Members in a country with a candidate cannot vote until that city is eliminated. That means there will be 99 eligible voters in the first round, since Brazil, Japan and the United States each have two IOC members, while Spain has one. Sometimes not even all the members who are present cast a vote. In the two-round election that made Vancouver the 2010 Winter Games host, four eligible IOC members did not vote in the first round and three did not vote in the second round. The missing votes could have changed the outcome.

"You can't force people to vote," IOC member Denis Oswald of Switzerland said at the time.

The low vote-getter is cut after each round

If no city gets a majority of the votes cast, the bidder with least support is eliminated and a new round of voting is held. The ejected candidate is announced publicly before the next round begins. Which means that if Chicago wins the bid, it won't be known until nearly noon. But if the city loses in an early round, Chicagoans will hear about it earlier than that.

Not since the vote for the 1988 Olympics, when winner Seoul and Nagoya, Japan, were the only two candidates, has a Summer Games ballot lasted only one round. Even an overwhelming favorite like Beijing needed two rounds to become the 2008 winner.

Selection for the Olympic host cities follows a predictable and cyclic pattern, and by studying the record of Olympiads it is possible to predict the future. For example, IOC regulations state that no continent shall have the Olympics twice within a four year period, so having hosted the Olympics in 2008 (Beijing) the host of the 2012 Olympics will not be an Asian country.(London) As the world goes global, so too the Olympics goes global. The days of Europe and North America having a monopoly on the games are over, and today there is more international bidding than ever for the summer Olympics. The first non- European/non North American country to host the Olympics was Melbourne in 1956, followed by Tokyo, Mexico, Moscow, Seoul, Sydney and now Beijing. Soon all the continents will have hosted the Olympics, with South America, Africa and the Middle East keen to get in on the action. At the time of this writing there were only two remaining candidates vying for the 2016 Olympics........Rio de Jainero and Chicago, with Rio having at least a 50% chance of being the first South American country to host the Olympics, and the IOC has stated it is recommending an African country to host the 2020 games. With Paris failing to secure the 2012 games, it will have to wait at least until 2020 to bid again due to the eight year continent exemption rule. This is also known as rotation. Other major sporting meets have a similar process......eg, the FIFA Football World Cup, the Commonwealth games and the World Athletics Championships. The Winter Olympics are more flexible than the afore mentioned sporting events, since there are precious few cities that have the climate and more importantly the infrastructure to host a successful meet there. Many countries have hosted the Winter Olympics several times, and Innesbruck Austria once hosted the Winter games twice within a 12 year period! Weather conditions in alpine or northern temperate zones can be notoriously changeable, so allowances may have to be made to ensure the games can continue on a particular year. The summer Olympics is easier to plan weather wise, and therefore a great many more cities are capapble of hosting them. The most likely cities to host the next 5 Olympiads after London are Rio, Cape Town, Paris, Buenos Aires and Brisbane.......by the time these Olympics have transpired, other cities previously unheard of in olympic 'circles' will be bidding for them.....cities such as Dubai, Lima, Auckland, Lagos and Mumbai, covering the final gaps in the five coloured olympic rings.

Who chooses the next host the Olympic games and how?

they put in a form and they get the head of the country to sign it and then they prepare! Members of the IOC (Internation Olympic Committee) choose the next venue for the Olympic games, which must be a city rather than a country. So, for example, the next Olympics,, in 2012, will be hosted by London, rather than England. any city which wishes to hose the games put their bid to the IOC. Only one city from each country can bid, and even putting forward a bid takes a huge amount of work and is very expensive.
