Idaho closed-primary
Idaho has a closed-primary system, meaning political parties may limit who's allowed to vote in a particular party's primary. Residents registering to vote are asked to affiliate with one of the state's four recognized political parties: Constitution, Democratic, Libertarian or Republican. Voters may choose to remain unaffiliated.
Voters who have never chosen a party affiliation may choose to affiliate with a party at any time, up to and including the day of the election. A voter who chooses to remain unaffiliated can receive a nonpartisan ballot or choose a ballot for a party that has opened its primary to unaffiliated voters.
The Idaho Republican Party only allows voters who choose to affiliate as Republicans to vote a Republican ballot in the primary.
