Compare and contrast open and closed primary elections.
What will be an ideal response?
Two types of primary election are used in the United States. The main difference lies in who can vote in each contest. In an open primary election, any registered voter can vote in any party's primary, as can independent voters. Parties' ballots are available in the voting booth, and the voter selects his or her preferences. In contrast, a closed primary limits voting to members of that party only. In some states, voters must declare their party affiliation up to 60 days in advance to be eligible to vote.
