Define primary elections?
A primary election is the election in which political parties determine who in their party will run as their candidate in the General Election. Primaries are held in various manners throughout The United States of America, usually by secret ballot among party members. Open primaries are those which anyone can vote in the primary as long as they just vote in one. For example you can vote in the Democratic Primary, but not in the Republican or other party primary. That makes you a Democrat. Or a Republican if you decide to vote in that primary instead. Closed primaries require that you register as a Democrat or as a Republican. Registered "Independents" usually cannot vote in a party primary. Occasionally the law in some states allows one to change their registration prior to the vote.
