To give voters a stronger voice in government
The initiative, referendum and recall are more ways to include citizens in government. In the initiative gives citizens the power to propose a law. The referendum gives citizens the power to vote on laws. The recall gives voters the power to vote someone out of office.
Professor Garraty describes the primary system as a way to give voters a direct say in selecting their party's nominee, allowing for greater participation in the democratic process. This system also encourages candidates to directly engage with voters and address their concerns, fostering a more inclusive and representative political system.

Initiative and referendum were ideas introduced to give voters more power. Initiative allowed voters to propose a new law by collecting signatures on a petition. Referendum permitted voters to approve or reject law that had already been proposed or passed by a government body.
The recall is the ability of voters to force a new election of elected public officials.Ê This gave the people the power to prevent abuses of power by threatening and carrying out these recalls. Ê Recalls, which are initiated when sufficient voters sign a petition, have a been recalled and a by-election follows as soon as possible, giving voters.

There are two reasons why primary victories are important to candidates. They indicate the strength of the candidate and provide information on the type of voters who are voting for the candidate.
In a direct democracy an assembly of the citizens decides on all matters of government and law. In a representative democracy, citizens elect representatives to a parliament, and these representatives vote on the issues of government. Direct democracy is not possible in a large state as it has been impracticable for citizens to travel regularly to an assembly over large distances. The problem with representatives is 'do they really represent the opinions of their electors?' With the internet it would now be possible to take direct peoples' votes regularly, but don't hold your breath waiting for the politicians to give up their power and perks.
