It simply means selecting the candidates for the electorate to choose from at the ballot. For example - there might be 10 candidates nominated (chosen) to run for office - but obviously only one can have the job !
The direct primary is used as the principal nominating method in the U.S. today because it allows voters to directly participate in selecting candidates for general elections, enhancing democratic engagement and accountability. This method reduces the influence of party elites and ensures that candidates are more representative of the electorate's preferences. Additionally, direct primaries foster competition among candidates, which can lead to more informed and motivated voters. Overall, it aligns with the broader democratic principles of transparency and voter empowerment.
