right. so.
according to the law the parties chose the primaries option that suits them.
PRM opted for closed primaries which means only registered party members can vote.
PLD will hold open primaries, as far as i can tell, even tho semi-open option was also discussed. that means only voters registered in electoral roll of JCE can take part. in addition, they want the pool of the voters to be limited to PLD party members and those not registered in other political parties.
PRD (not that this ghost has any importance) will not hold the primaries at all. i wonder why. oh wait, we all know why.
other parties do not count in this game and some did not decide yet.
read newspapers. it's fun to look at the political section.
