Unless it has...Kentucky registers voters by party. Unless it has changed recently, neither party invites independents to vote in its primary. Independents can only vote in the general election.<br /><br />Arkansas, which does not have party registration, has true open primaries, in which each voter picks a party on primary day. A voter much stick with the same party in the runoff (or second) primaries (a voter who skips the first round may vote in either party's second primary).<br /><br />To my knowledge, Alabama's Republicans are the only party which invites people who voted in the other party's primary to cross over and vote in the Republican runoff several weeks later. The Republicans are able to do this because Alabama law does not prohibit it.Steve Rankinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07352056744691309807noreply@blogger.com
