Yes you can. Since you are a democrat, you will have to vote for whoever is on the democratic ballot during the primary. Then, for the election you can vote for anyone, regardless of the party.
In every state of the United States, voters are free to vote for any candidate in the general election, regardless of the party they are registered in or any primary they have voted in. Parties do try to make voters who participated in their primary feel a moral obligation to vote for that party in the general election, but there is, in fact, no moral or legal obligation to do so. Democracy is served best when voters are absolutely free to express their own preference.
Yes. In the general election, you can vote for whoever you like regardless of what party you are affiliated or registered with. Yes. In many (but not all) states, party affiliation affects what primaries you can vote in. But it does not force you to vote for that party's candidates in the general election.
The Democrat and Republican parties.
No, you cannot. Oklahoma has a "closed" system for primaries, which means that you can only vote for a candidate from the political party in which you registered. So, if you are a registered Republican, you can only choose from Republican candidates in the primary. But in the general election, that changes; you will be free to vote for a candidate from whichever party you wish.
Yes, you have the right to vote for any person or party in the general election.
No. In the primaries, the voter can only vote for those candidates associated to their party affiliation. In the general election however, anyone can vote for any candidate. Those registered as IND (Independent) cannot vote at all during the primaries, but can vote in the general elections come November.

General Dwight D. Eisenhower was the Republican nominee in 1952. He won the election over Democrat Adlai Stevenson.
A primary election is the election in which political parties determine who in their party will run as their candidate in the General Election. Primaries are held in various manners throughout The United States of America, usually by secret ballot among party members. Open primaries are those which anyone can vote in the primary as long as they just vote in one. For example you can vote in the Democratic Primary, but not in the Republican or other party primary. That makes you a Democrat. Or a Republican if you decide to vote in that primary instead. Closed primaries require that you register as a Democrat or as a Republican. Registered "Independents" usually cannot vote in a party primary. Occasionally the law in some states allows one to change their registration prior to the vote.
Republican
Yes . Most primaries nowadays are totally open- all you have to be is a registered voter and the only question asked is your name and address. In the past, one might have to promise to support a majority of the Republican candidates in the general election, but, of course, there was not way to enforce the promise since general elections are secret.
Before the general election is one or more primary elections, which narrows down a field of candidates.
Yes, you can vote in the general election without voting in the primaries.
