PROP 1: Would increase voter participation and majority representation
Ranked Choice Voting and Open Primaries are on the ballot in five states and Washington, D.C., this fall. In Idaho, Proposition 1 gives all voters the opportunity to vote in the single primary election, and to rank their choices in the general election, giving them more opportunity to have their vote count.
In the proposed open primary, all registered voters would cast one vote in each partisan race. Currently, over 270,000 unaffiliated registered voters in Idaho are left out of this process. The top four candidates from the primary appear on the November general election ballot. If a candidate receives more than 50% of the vote, they win. Currently, that is not the case in Idaho.
