THE BALLOT MEASURES
This page offers a summary of the ballot measure similar to the way it will appear on the ballot, and asks for your / your organization's endorsement of each. Endorsements will be listed on separate pages of the Coalition for Healthy Democracy's website. The second page will clarify whether this is an organizational or an individual endorsement, or both.
The All-Party Primary
This proposed law would change state primary elections so that all candidates running for each office would appear together in an all-party state primary. All voters, regardless of party registration, would be eligible to vote in the all-party state primary. For each office, the two candidates who receive the most votes in the state primary would advance to the general election. The proposed law would allow a candidate to be identified on the state primary ballot by their party registration and, if approved by the candidate, by whether they have been endorsed by a political party or designation. The proposed law would require candidates for governor and lieutenant governor to run for office jointly. The proposed law would provide political party status to any party or designation for which their candidates for any statewide office received at least 3% of the ballots cast in the state primary.
