Supporters claim that closed primaries make candidates more responsive to what members of their own party want, as only registered party members can participate. This ensures that candidates prioritize the values and concerns of party members rather than trying to appeal to a broader, more diverse electorate in an open primary. Closed primaries can help strengthen party unity and ensure that candidates truly represent the interests and ideologies of their party's members.
