Open Primary Campaigns
Across the Country
From Oklahoma to Florida, from New Mexico to Pennsylvania, from New York to Oregon–citizen leaders all across the country are coming together to build campaigns for open primaries.
WHY OPEN PRIMARIES?
THE ORGANIZATION
- LEADERSHIP: We are the nation’s leading experts on primary elections. We launched and have led the fight for reform for over 15 years.
- ORGANIZING: We work with activists and leaders across the country to develop and support campaigns for change.
- EDUCATION: We work to ensure that the public and policymakers are empowered with the information and tools they need to change the system.
- BUILDING: We’re building a movement to let all voters vote in every publicly funded election.
THE ISSUE
- FAIRNESS: Millions of independent voters--the fastest growing segment of the electorate--are excluded from voting in closed partisan primaries.
- PUBLIC FUNDING: Primary elections are publicly funded and administered. No American should be required to join a political party in order to vote in a public election.
- VOTER CHOICE: Voters want to be able to choose from among all the candidates. Closed partisan primaries don't allow that.
- BETTER OUTCOMES: Elected officials perform better when competition is increased and they are incentivized to listen to their entire constituencies, not just partisan primary voters.
