Speak Up: Arizona ‘open primaries’ initiative clears signature hurdle

There are more than enough signatures on petitions to let voters decide whether to scrap the system of partisan primary elections, a judge ruled Thursday.

That still doesn’t mean Proposition 140 will be on the ballot.

  • “This proposition if passed will likely result in a Top 2 Open Primary system like in CA/WA where it is possible for the general election to occur between two candidates of the same party. The language alluding to Ranked Choice Voting is a Red Herring.” — @jonralstonlmt via X
