Alabama is one of 15 states that do not ask voters to register with a political party before voting in a primary. Some Republicans argue it’s time to change that. alnews alabamanewsnetwork
The Alabama Republican Party will take a vote this weekend on whether to support a party registration requirement for primaries, also known as having a closed primary. Passage of the resolution would signal support for the idea, but the Alabama Legislature would have to enact legislation to make such a change.
Currently, voters casting ballots in a primary election in Alabama simply tell a poll worker which ballot they want. Wahl said there is growing concern about possible cross-over voting. Republicans should be electing Republican nominees, he said. Wahl said the resolution endorses the idea of a closed primary, but doesn’t recommend any specific method. States have different rules regarding primary voting and party registration.
House Minority Leader Anthony Daniels, a Democratic representative from Huntsville, said a closed GOP primary could lead to more extreme candidates.
