  1. direct primary

    A direct primary is a preliminary election, held before the main general election, in which registered voters of a political party nominate candidates for office. Voters directly participate in the selection process which happens within each political party. The nominees then represent their party in the subsequent general election. It was established to make the candidate selection process more democratic, giving power to the party members rather than party bosses or elites.
