What is the difference between a closed primary and an open primary, and which do party leaders prefer?
What will be an ideal response?
In closed primaries, voters must declare their party affiliation and must belong to the party whose primary they are voting in. In open primaries, voters may vote in whichever primary they prefer, without declaring a party affiliation. Party leaders prefer closed primaries because they discourage outsider candidates and maximize their own influence on outcomes.
