The Significance of Primary Elections

Primary elections allow voters to participate in selecting the presidential candidates for each political party. Before primaries, candidate selection was done behind closed doors, but primaries have made the process transparent and inclusive. It is like a national contest where voters get to learn about different candidates, their ideas, and plans, to ultimately choose the strongest candidate for the party's nomination.
