In 2024, our movement saw 8 open primary initiatives on the 2024 ballot across the country. Millions of voters voted for open primaries, and 2 campaigns garnered enough votes to win (Washington DC & Alaska).

In poll after poll, open primaries consistently get 70%+ of the public’s support but translating that support into votes is not automatic. It takes work – a lot of work. Both parties oppose us and they’ve become experts at sowing doubt among voters.

Our final Primary Buzz Discussion of the year will be a deep dive into where we are right now as a movement: what’s working? What’s not? How can we effectively grow in 2025 to set us up for success in 2026.

Featuring: Lisa Rice (All Votes Count DC/Yes on 83), Juli Lucky (Alaskans for Better Elections/Vote No on 2), Sarah Smallhouse & Chuck Coughlin (Make Elections Fair AZ/Yes on Prop 140) Hosted by: John Opdycke (Open Primaries President & Founder)
