Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In primary elections, voters select the candidates of their party who will run in the general election. This is also known as a "preliminary election" where voters choose their preferred candidates to represent each political party in the general election. Option B is incorrect because candidates who win the primary election are the ones who contest in the general election. Option C is incorrect because candidates are not appointed by local party officials, but rather chosen through a voting process. Option D is not always true as voter turnout can vary based on several factors. Option E is also incorrect as voters are generally only allowed to choose the candidates from their own party.
