61. Some states have primaries

Others have caucuses.

Some states have open primaries, meaning any registered voter can vote. Others have closed, meaning only registered Democrats and independents can vote.

Check your states rules and the primary schedule, as it rolls around. The reason some people don't vote in primaries is because they feel by the time it comes to their state, one candidate already has the required number of delegates to win and they feel their's doesn't matter.
