Summary

In 1996, voters approved Proposition 198, which made California one of the first and only states to switch from a "closed" primary system to an open,"blanket," system where voters are allowed to vote for any candidate regardless of their party affiliation. This volume provides the first ever comprehensive study of the blanket primary's impact on electoral outcome.
