The Direct Primary

The direct primary is an election in which all citizens vote to select nominees for upcoming elections. This idea became the most lasting Progressive reform and the most common form of primary election now used for all elected offices in the United States except the presidency. In the direct primary, party members who want to run for office file petitions to have their names placed on the ballot, allowing voters to vote directly for the candidates of their choice. This new reform is liked by many people today.
