The reform that allowed voters, rather than party bosses, to choose candidates for elections is known as direct primary elections. In direct primaries, registered party members have the opportunity to vote for their preferred candidates. This reform aimed to increase participatory democracy and reduce the influence of party elites in candidate selection.

Primary
By caucus of members of a political party, by state party conventions, or by primary elections, or by all of the above in some states.
Primary elections are held in April.
Closed primaries are primary elections that are closed to members of specific parties. For instance, in the Republican primary in South Dakota, only Republicans can vote. In an open primary, party is not a factor.
When someone belonging to one party votes in the opposite party's primary election. The strategy is to elect someone who would be easy for your party's candidate to defeat in the overall election. For example, someone in the republican party would vote for someone in the primary democratic party, instead of voting in the republican primary.
Open primaries allow any voters to participate, while closed primaries are restricted to party members Apex :)
