A nonpartisan blanket primary is a primary election in which all candidates for the same elected office run against each other at once,regardless of the political party. Partisan elections are,on the other hand,segregated by political party. Nonpartisan blanket primaries are slightly different from the two-round system in that the first round takes place alongside other primary elections,and the second round is never skipped.
