∙ 13y agoIn an OPEN primary, any registered voter can cast a ballot.
In a CLOSED primary, only voters who are registered with that particular party can vote.
Some primaries are also SEMI-OPEN. For example, in California, you can vote in the Democratic Party primary if you are a registered Democrat, or also if you are registered as an independent (no party) or "decline to state," but not if you are registered with some other specific party (e.g., Republican, Green, Libertarian, Peace and Freedom, etc.).
Each state, and in many cases each political party within that state, gets to decide whether to have open or closed or semi-open primaries. However, some states do not include party affiliation as part of the voter registration process, so those states have all open primaries.
