An open primary,
using the parlance of this discussion, is when a voter gets to pick the party at
the point of voting the ballot. On paper this means all parties are
printed on the same ballot. On plastic, it means the voter picks their
party on a party selection screen.
This is opposed to
the voter telling the poll worker their party (or visa-versa), which is a closed
primary.

Isn't an open primary effectively a General election where
the "winner" is the top person from each party in a race?

Subject: Open Primary Election on
AVTS
Within our current GEMS
1.17.11 and AVTS 3.13.9.2, we do not support an Open Primary Election on the
AVTS systems. I am currently here in Huntsville, AL and doing testing
with PSINet, where we have encountered this problem. In order to
certify, we need to show the ability to do an Open Primary Election on the
AVTS system. Is this going to be supported in the new R-6
system???
