Modified primaries refer to elections where the rules have been altered to allow certain types of voters, such as independents, to participate in the primary election process. This modification can vary by state and can include open primaries, semi-closed primaries, or semi-open primaries. The aim is to broaden participation and potentially increase voter turnout.
Wisconsin, for one.
Primaries consist of two main types: open primaries and closed primaries. In open primaries, voters can choose which party's primary to participate in, regardless of their registered party affiliation. In contrast, closed primaries require voters to be registered with a specific party to vote in that party's primary. These systems determine how candidates are selected for the general election and can influence voter turnout and party dynamics.

This is purely up to the party leaders to decide. An example in the latest primaries is Florida, which was not allowed by the Democratic Party to take place in the primary as punishment for moving up their primary voting date.
