3. Open primary--the polls likely do not include

Independents or first time voters....Indiana seems to have a rather reasonable approach to encouraging people to vote. What a contrast to some the the latest shenanigans we've seen lately.


Mixed

A mixed primary incorporates elements of open and closed primaries. In most mixed primary states, the power to choose who can vote in primaries falls to the political parties. Some states permit independents to vote without altering their unaffiliated status, while others require a day-of declaration of party affiliation. However, these rules vary greatly from state-to-state.
