What is the difference between open and blanket primary?
An open primary is when a voter has to decide which party's primary they wish to participate in, meaning they can only choose candidates from that one particular party. The blanket primary is when a voter does not have to choose which party they want and can vote for any candidates from both parties.

What is a blanket primary?
The blanket primary is a system used for selecting political party candidates in a primary election in the USA. In a blanket primary voters may pick one candidate for each office without regard to party lines; for instance, a voter might select a Democratic candidate for governor and a Republican candidate for senator. The candidates with the highest votes by party for each office advance to the general election, as the respective party's nominee. It differs from the open primary - in open primaries voters may pick candidates regardless of their own party registration, but may only choose among candidates from a single party of the voter's choice.
As a registered Republican can you choose to vote in the Democratic primary in NC?
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).

Why do most ballots contain only Democratic and Republican candidates?
Most ballots in the United States typically contain only Democratic and Republican candidates because these two parties have historically dominated the political landscape.

However, there are instances where third-party candidates or independents appear on the ballot, although they often face significant challenges in terms of funding, media coverage, and voter recognition.

Can you vote for one party in the primary and vote for another party in the general election?
Yes, for closed primaries you are only allowed to vote for candidates who are in the same party as the voter. In an open primary, like a general election, any registered voter is allowed to vote for the candidates on the ballot. The difference between open primaries and general elections is that open primaries include only candidates from one party that all registered voters can choose from, while in the general elections, candidates can come from several parties, with all registered voters eligible to choose the one of their choice, regardless of their primary choices.
Can you vote Democratic in the Mississippi primary but Republican in the national election in November?
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.
