A US political term for when two primaries — typically for different offices or parties — are held on the same election day in the same jurisdiction. Dual primaries are logistical events that can affect turnout dynamics, as different voter bases mobilize simultaneously. Political operatives and campaign strategists pay close attention to dual primaries for their strategic implications on crossover voting and resource allocation.
The dual primary created unusual turnout patterns as both parties mobilized their bases on the same Tuesday.
