The Policy

Pass Open Primaries + Instant Runoff

Background

In Arizona, Independent voters have to choose one of the two major party ballots if they wish to participate in taxpayer-funded primaries. There are 1.45 million independent voters in Arizona, one of the largest voter blocs in the states, but unless they want to vote in a different party’s primary they don’t get to have a say on Primary Day. This initiative wants to change that, by eliminating tax-funded partisan primaries and creating a unified open primary where all candidates run on the same ballot.

Who’s Involved?

This campaign is being spearheaded by Make Elections Fair Arizona, and they’ve built a broad coalition of endorsers including Veterans for All Voters, the Southern Arizona Leadership Council, the Greater Phoenix Urban League, the Tuscon Metro Chamber, the Arizona Independent Voters Network, Grand Canyon Institute, and many others.
