Closed Primary :)
Closed
No, you don't have to be a registered democrat to vote in the primary.
In the United States, you do not need to declare yourself a member of any political party in order to vote for president; but in primary elections, it is necessary in many states to choose one party and register as a member. You will then be given the ballot that has the candidates from your party-- in this case, the Democratic party ballot.
Kansas has closed primaries. Voters registered as Republicans can vote only in the Republican primary; Democrats can vote only in the Democratic primary. Registered Independents can change their affiliation and vote in that primary.
In an open primary anyone can vote for any candidate in either party regardless of whether they are registered democrat or republican. In a closed primary you can only vote for someone in your registered party.
Democrats, and then only if they are registered to vote in their county.
Only registered democrats.
No. If you are registered with a party, you must vote in that party's primary. But if you are an unaffiliated voter, you may choose to vote in the Democratic, Republican, or Unaffiliated Primary. You must choose only one party's primary. Participating in a partisan primary will not affect your status as an unaffiliated voter. If you vote an unaffiliated ballot you will only vote for those offices that are non-partisan (i.e. Judges).
Virginia does not have party registration. In Virginia a person can vote in one primary, republican or democrat, but not both. So a republican can vote in the democratic primary. Should you chose the democrat you most agree with or the one you think has the greatest chance of loosing to the republican is up to you.
Yes, in the primary if you are a Democrat, you are only allowed to vote for candidates running in the Democratic primary. But in the general election, all registered voters can choose from the Democratic candidate, Republican candidate, Independent candidate, or any other candidate that appears on the November ballot.
