Some people were upset by ramifications of this law during the May 2012 primary election. To help alleviate voter confusion, the County’s Elections website has an explanation of party affiliation’s connection to primary ballot options.

Question: I think this press release says that you're limited to the choices provided by your party affiliation, since Idaho Republicans closed their primary. Anyone have a different interpretation?
