政党如何选择公职候选人，深刻地影响着当选者的类型以及这些人在办公室的行为。这一甄选过程还提供了关于政党如何在内部运作以及政治权力在一国之内的位置的重要见解。只有少数关于提名程序的比较研究，没有一项研究解释为什么有些政党在某些时候通过直接初选选择候选人，而另一些政党则不这样做。作者分析了1983年至2001年两年一度的阿根廷众议院选举的610个地区一级提名过程的原始数据集。他们的结论是，几个具体的制度和党派特征对一个政党在投票箱（直接初选）而不是在烟雾弥漫的密室（精英安排）中选择候选人的概率有显著影响。
How political parties select their candidates for public office profoundly affects the types of people who are elected as well as how these people behave in office. This selection process also provides important insights on how parties function internally and on where political power is located within a country. Only a few comparative studies of nomination procedures exist, and none explain why some parties at some points in time select candidates via direct primaries and others do not. The authors analyze an original data set of 610 district-level nomination processes for the biennial Argentine Chamber of Deputies elections held between 1983 and 2001. They conclude that several specific institutional and partisan features have a prominent effect on the probability that a political party will choose its candidates at the ballot box (direct primary) rather than in a smoke-filled back room (elite arrangement).
