Primary elections are known as the process through which the voters can indicate their preference for the candidate of the party of their choice. In any upcoming general or local level election, the goal is to narrow the strength of the field candidates which depends on the administrative decisions of the country.

Answer 2

The correct answer is D.

Primary elections are through which a political party elects its leader. When each party has its leader, then a general election is celebrated.

An open primary election is that in which it is not necessary that the voters previously pertained to the party in order to vote for the candidates. Each voter can only participate in the primary process in one party, therefore crossover voting is prevented, so that, for example, people affiliated in one party does not participate in other parties' election to try to influence its results.

A closed primary election is that in which voters can only vote for the leader of the party in which they are affiliated.

The distinction of which system is used differs per party per state. It is true that closed primaries encourage all affiliates to participate as they have the power to choose the leader, while open systems tend to decrease participation.
