@Ali Zifan: Hi, thank you for this file. In my view there are missing differentiation:

  • 2 semi-open primaries (Ohio, South Dakota)
  • 2 semi-open caucuses (Iowa, Utah)
Compare please with table.--Kacir (talk) 01:57, 17 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Kacir: Fixed Ali Zifan

Caucus vs Primary

[edit]

Idaho, Nebraska, and Puerto Rico are all Caucus states, not Primary states. Fixed Ali Zifan

Connecticut - should be closed primary.

[edit]

As far as I'm aware, Connecticut should be a closed primary. Every source I'm finding makes no mention of it being semi-closed/open, only closed. Although it appears voters can register in-person up to the day before, new and unaffiliated voters need to register as a member of a party. This showed correctly in the first version of this map, but it was inexplicably changed to semi-closed in more recent versions. Here's the primary source that indicates that it is a closed primary. For the record, this error doesn't exist in the Republican primaries map. --GVOLTT (talk) 15:38, 25 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
