HOW IT WORKS | Simple. Fair. And Easy.

  • Five candidates, instead of just two, will advance from the primary election to the general election.
  • If five candidates or fewer run for an office, the primary will be eliminated altogether and all candidates will automatically advance to the general election.
  • In the general election, you can still vote for only one candidate as you currently do OR you can rank candidates in order of preference.
  • If a candidate wins a majority (over 50%) among the first-choice votes, that candidate is the winner.
  • If no candidate wins a majority or more, the winning candidate is determined by ranked choice voting.
  • Ranked choice voting ensures that the winner is supported by  more voters than any other candidate.

WHY FIVE?

HALF as many voters participate in primaries.

Special interests have more influence in the primary.

Yet, viable candidates get eliminated in the primary.

Not with More Choice!

Two Candidates

The current system eliminates all but two candidates during low-turnout primaries, leaving voters with just two choices in November.
Only two candidates ballot

Five Candidates

Ranking candidates is simple, fair, and easy! Our proposal would move five candidates onto the general election, instead of two, so voters can easily rank their options in the general election.

Many Candidates

Too many candidates can cause voters to feel confused, overwhelmed, or discouraged from completing their rankings.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why Advance Five Candidates?

This answer is more practical than academic. Most simply, five seemed like a good balance between the competing interests, which include:

  1. Allowing voters and the press to take a “first look” at the candidates,
  2. Giving candidates an opportunity to introduce their issues,
  3. Narrowing the candidate field so voters and the press can focus on the “viable” candidates, and
  4. Preventing long and time- consuming general election ballots.
