Arizona, Connecticut Calls for Open Primaries


OPEN PRIMARIES
  • Arizona group pushing for open elections (By Joanne Ingram, Green Valley News) Sometimes referred to as a top-two primary, such an election would have all voters choosing from one slate of candidates. At present, those registered with a political party vote in that party’s primary, while registered independents can choose a party’s primary ballot.
  • Op-Ed | Open Up the Primaries (by Susan Bigelow, CT News Junkie) Of course, if Connecticut’s political parties were actually interested in fairness, which they aren’t, they might consider doing the unthinkable and backing legislation to throw primaries at all levels open to everyone.
