Primary Rules

How Arizona's Primary Works

Arizona uses different primary rules for state/congressional and presidential elections

State / Congressional

Semi-Open Primary
Voters don't have to publicly declare a party affiliation, but they must request a specific party's ballot at the polling place.
How It Works
Similar to open primaries, but the party whose ballot you request may be recorded. Some states allow parties to restrict their primaries to registered members, creating a hybrid system.
IVP's Position
Marginally better access for independents, but the party-based structure remains the core limitation.

Presidential

Closed Primary
Only voters registered with a political party can vote in that party's primary election. Independent and unaffiliated voters are excluded.
How It Works
Voters must register with a party, often weeks or months before the election, to participate. If you're registered as independent or unaffiliated, you cannot vote in either major party's primary.
IVP's Position
Closed primaries lock millions of independent voters out of the elections that matter most. In many districts, the primary is the only competitive election.
