Briefly describe the two types of party primaries conducted in the United States

What will be an ideal response?


An ideal response would be:
There are two kinds of party primaries. In a closed primary, only voters registered in a party may vote in that party's primary. Such a primary discourages crossover voting—allowing voters from outside the party to help determine the party's nominee—that is why partisans prefer closed primaries. In an open primary, any voter can participate in any party's primary.
