Declaring a party is what defines a *closed* primary. The fact that you can 
switch parties at the next election cycle is irrelevant.

An open primary lets you mix and match up and down the ballot, which you can 
not do in IL. If we had this, I would have been able to hit every race I 
cared about, instead of being forced to pull a GOP ballot to vote for 
several county-level races that the Dems couldn't muster up a candidate for.
