HR 5334 was introduced in the House of Representatives on July 31, 2014, by U.S. Representative John Delaney of Maryland.

Even though the bill died with the 113th Congress, and Delaney’s office cannot confirm that he will reintroduce the bill in the new Congress, the hope is that he will and that he will also pick up additional cosponsors.

Please consider contacting your representative to inquire about their position on this bill, and perhaps encourage them to become a cosponsor if or when it is reintroduced.

There is a petition circulating urging the Obama administration to publicly support this bill, or some variant, allowing independents unrestricted access to congressional primaries.

Asking the administration to publicly support H.R.5334 - Open Our Democracy Act of 2014, or some variant which allows registered voters with no party preference to vote in primary elections.

The number of voters registering with no party affiliation is on the rise. A recent Gallup Poll reveals 42% of Americans self-identify as independent. While the numbers may vary from state to state, too many Americans are being disenfranchised during this crucial component of the elections process.

CLICK HERE if you agree, to sign this petition to the Obama Administration.
