Arizona Open Primaries

Arizona Open Primaries allow registered voters to participate in any party’s primary election regardless of their own political affiliation. Voters choose the candidates they prefer within any party’s contest without declaring a party preference. This system aims to increase voter participation and provide a broader platform for citizen engagement in selecting general election candidates. However, it also raises concerns about partisanship influence, as members of one party can potentially impact another party’s candidate choices. Overall, Arizona Open Primaries promote inclusivity and voter choice in the primary process.
