Closed; open
A semi-closed primary is a type of primary election where only registered party members and unaffiliated voters are allowed to participate. This means that voters who are registered with a different political party are not allowed to vote in the primary, but unaffiliated voters are given the option to choose which party's primary they want to participate in.
In a closed primary, only voters registered with a specific political party can participate in that party's primary election. Independent or unaffiliated voters are typically not allowed to vote in closed primaries.
In some cases, voters can choose a candidate from an apolitical party for public office through a system of open primaries or nonpartisan elections. In open primaries, voters are not required to be registered with a particular political party and can select any candidate, including those from apolitical parties. Nonpartisan elections do not include party affiliations on the ballot, allowing voters to focus on the candidate's qualifications rather than their political affiliation.
To get registered as a political party, a party typically needs to meet certain criteria set by the government, such as having a minimum number of members or demonstrating public support. The party usually needs to submit an application to the relevant electoral commission along with supporting documentation. Once approved, the party is officially registered and can participate in elections.
