Final answer:

If you are a member of the Republican party and you go to vote for the party nominee for president, and on your ballot are candidates for both the Democratic and Republican nominations, you are most likely in an open primary election.

Step-by-step explanation:

If you are a member of the Republican party and you go to vote for the party nominee for president, and on your ballot are candidates for both the Democratic and Republican nominations, you are most likely in an open primary election. In an open primary, all voters, regardless of party affiliation, are allowed to vote. This means that as a Republican, you have the option to vote for either a Republican or Democratic candidate.

I most likely live in a democratic two-party and two-session election. This means that other candidates from each party were already taken out of the equation for a nomination due to low votes, with other parties again not having enough support to appear on the voting ballot. This means that the only candidates that appear in the second session are the republican and the democratic candidate.
