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.
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).
A republican party member cannot vote in a primary election for a democratic candidate?
