In Nebraska, a top-two primary system is utilized for state legislative elections. Partisan primaries are conducted for other elective offices; the outcomes of these primaries are determined via plurality vote i. Terms of participation The terms of participation in primary elections vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction and, sometimes, within a jurisdiction; different political parties may enforce different participation criteria.
In general, there are three basic primary election participation models used in the United States: Open primaries : An open primary is any primary election in which a voter either does not have to formally affiliate with a political party in order to vote in its primary or can declare his or her affiliation with a party at the polls on the day of the primary even if the voter was previously affiliated with a different party.
Voters who previously affiliated with a political party who did not change their affiliations in advance cannot vote in another party's primary.
The candidate need not win an outright majority to be elected. These systems are sometimes referred to as first-past-the-post or winner-take-all. In the event that no candidate wins an outright majority, a runoff election is held between the top two vote-getters. For this reason, majority systems are sometimes referred to as two-round systems. Ranked-choice voting is a specific type of majority voting system that may also be used in primary elections.
Consequently, it is possible that two candidates belonging to the same political party could win in a top-two primary and face off in the general election. A top-two primary should not be confused with a blanket primary. In a blanket primary, all candidates are listed on the same primary ballot; the top vote-getter from each party participating in the primary advances to the general election. If a candidate wins more than 50 percent of the vote in the general election, he or she is elected.
If no candidate wins an outright majority in the general election, a runoff election is held between the top two vote-getters. This system is sometimes referred to as a jungle primary or majority electoral system. In Nebraska's nonpartisan state legislature employs a top-two primary system in which the top two vote-getters in the primary face off in the general election.
