Proposition 1 restores open primaries
and gives power back to people, not party elites.
Our closed primaries prevent nearly 300,000 Idahoans from participating in some of our most important elections.
Proposition 1 will give Idahoans the freedom to vote in all elections without having to align with a political party. By restoring Idaho’s tradition of Open Primaries, Prop 1 will give the power back to people, not political party elites, so we can elect leaders who focus on solving real problems—not distractions and controversies that turn us against each other.
“The right to vote is one of the most precious rights that Americans have. Every registered voter should have the right to weigh in on choosing our leaders. Independents, including a lot of military veterans, have been excluded from having their say because of the closed GOP primary.”
-Former Governor Butch Otter
