closed primary
A political party's closed primary election is a primary election that is open only to members of the party.
Only members of a political party can vote in a primary election. These elections are held to determine a party's candidate for the general election. Depending on the state, primaries can be closed, meaning only registered party members can participate, or open, allowing unaffiliated voters to cast ballots as well.
