Talk:Primary elections in the United States

Untitled
This post is sadly out of date. One problem I see is that Washington State as of 2015 instituted a hybrid system where both parties have caucuses on different dates and then the state hosts a primary later. In 2016, it's on May 24th. See http://frontloading.blogspot.com/2015/07/washington-state-will-have-2016.html

Furthermore, this page does nothing to clarity the rules for the different types of primaries – Presidential, federal, state, local – in each state as the rules vary drastically. I think this needs to be rethought with a separate page for each state and current rules separated from historical rules for each state. It's a big task. I'd be happy to do my part for New York and maybe one or two other states. But to get this to even a B-rated page, much work must be done. Glindathebest (talk) 21:32, 9 April 2016 (UTC)

And, while Missouri is listed in the Open Primary category, the actual procedure here matches the description given for the semi-open category: a voter requests of the poll worker the ballot of the party he wishes to vote. Wschart (talk) 18:28, 17 June 2016 (UTC)

Entitlement to stand
This article discusses who is entitled to vote in various types of primaries, but not who is entitled to stand as a candidate. Does a person need to be a member of a particular political party in order to stand for that party's primary? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rosbif73 (talk • contribs) 10:41, 13 October 2016 (UTC)

Open primaries - other countries
"Open primaries" redirects to this article, which deals only with the USA. But there are open primaries in other countries too like France etc. Could there anything be done to this problem? --Ingo Habeck (talk) 21:34, 31 December 2017 (UTC)
 * Well, now I see it. I should read the article Primary Election, not Open Primaries. But I think, the redirection is misleading the reader. --Ingo Habeck (talk) 21:49, 31 December 2017 (UTC)
