Oregon Competing Top-Two Primary Petitions

Two competing groups began circulating initiative petitions in May to establish a Top-Two Primary system.

One, Oregon Open Primary Initiative, would be similar to the current primary system in California and Washington (changes general election nomination processes: provides for single primary ballot listing all candidates; top two advance).

The other, Oregon Unified Primary Elections Initiative, would also be similar to the current primary system in California and Washington (changes general election nomination processes: provides for single primary ballot listing all candidates; top two advance) but adds the ability for a voter to select as many candidates as desired called Approval Voting.

Each initiative needs 87,213 valid signatures by July 3rd.
