Election rules

Primary election

Closed primary elections are held to allow members of political parties to select their respective candidates. The candidate who wins the Democratic primary, for example, will go on to be the Democratic nominee in the general election. Independent candidates may also run in the general election, bypassing the primary.[1] If a candidate cross-files, he or she could run in the general election as a Democratic Party candidate, as well as a candidate for one or more other parties.

According to statute, candidates for the supreme courts are chosen indirectly through delegates. Voters elect convention delegates in the primary election, and the delegates choose the supreme court candidates who will be on the general election ballot.[2][3]
