Crossover voting occurs when a voter participates in a primary election for a political party with which he or she does not generally affiliate. Crossover voting can occur in states with open primaries, which do not require one to be a member of a party to participate in a party's primary. In these states, a voter may choose to vote in the partisan primary of his or her choice. Crossover voting can also occur when a voter participates in one party's primary and then participates in a different party's primary runoff.[1][2]
