In a direct primary, voters select a nominee through a delegate debate as a group to nominate a candidate vote for a nominee themselves, not through a delegate vote for their candidate of choice in the general election?

In a direct primary, voters vote for a nominee themselves, not through a delegate.

This means that in a direct primary, registered voters directly participate in the election process to choose their preferred candidate for the general election, rather than choosing delegates who then decide on a candidate. This system allows for greater involvement and influence of the voter in the nominating process.
