These preliminary elections are called primary electionsor primaries. Open primaries allow any registered voter to vote in whatever primary they choose to vote in. Closed primaries attempt to restrict the voters to supporters of the party primary they want to vote in.
A primary election is an election in which party members select people to run in the general election. Voters from each party choose who they like in the primary election, and then that person runs in the general election.
This kind of election is called a primary election in most parts of the world. In an open primary, anyone who is eligible to vote in the general election may vote in that primary election. This is in contrast to a closed primary, where only members of a political party are allowed to vote in that party's internal election.
In countries that do not have any kind of open primaries, the term selection may be used to refer to closed primaries. Generally, a primary election must take place on a large scale and involve a formal ballot.
