Many voters deslike having to declare party preference.
Caucuses can result in informal decisions, while primaries follow typical election procedures. Explanation: APEX
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.
Super voters are voters who have voted in both 2008 and 2010 election primaries. Basically people who are all but guaranteed to vote.
Yes . Most primaries nowadays are totally open- all you have to be is a registered voter and the only question asked is your name and address. In the past, one might have to promise to support a majority of the Republican candidates in the general election, but, of course, there was not way to enforce the promise since general elections are secret.
A political independent is a person who is not affiliated with an organized political party. I am a registered voter but my Voter Registration Card lists my Party as "NPA" (No Party Affiliation). In my state, if I registered as a Democrat or Republican, I could vote in the party primaries for my stated party. Because I am an Independent, I cannot vote in primaries but I can vote in general elections and on referendums and non-partisan races.

A blanket primary is when a ballot lists the candidates for ALL parties regardless of what party the voter is in. So the voter can vote for a Republican governor and a Democratic senator even if they are Rep/Dem. Very few states have this kind of primary now.
no.Since the provision for open primaries does not apply to this particular election, every voter needs to be affiliated with the party in which they choose to vote.

In the primaries we have to declare which party we want to vote for, so you cannot vote for some democrates and some republicans!

voter turnout is much lower in midterm elections
