How Alabama's Primary Works

Alabama uses a Open Primary system

⚖
Open Primary
Any registered voter can vote in any party's primary, regardless of their own party affiliation or registration status.
How It Works
On election day, voters choose which party's ballot they want. They don't need to be registered with that party. In most open primary states, this choice is made privately at the polling place.
IVP's Position
Better than closed primaries, but still forces voters to pick a party's ballot rather than voting for the best candidate regardless of party.
