Question

Janice is voting in a primary but does not announce an affiliation with either party. She is given ballots with each party's list of candidates; she chooses which ballot to use and is restricted to voting for only one party's nominees. In which type of primary is Janice participating?

a. Closed
b. Blanket
c. Open
d. Transparent

Answer 1

Answer: c) Open

Explanation:

In an open primary , a voter is allowed to select ballot of one party among all the parties for casting the vote to the nominee of that party. Limitation of voting in any other party apart from the chosen party is present in this primary.

Janice is also a part of open primary in which she can opt a single nominee from the list of candidate to whom she wants to vote.

Other options are incorrect because in closed primary only allows registered individual with party to vote. Blanket primary is used for opting political party. Transparent primary is not a valid term in field of primary.

Thus, the correct option is option(c).
