Arizona Non-Partisan Elections for Congress




Thanks to Richard Winger of Ballot Access News for this post.

Voters in Arizona could be voting in November 2016 on whether to make all elections other than President non-partisan.

The wording of the initiative is still not final. After it is final, organizers will have until early July 2016 to collect the signatures.

Former Phoenix Mayor Paul Johnson is heading the campaign. The two candidates receiving the most votes would face off in the General Election.

Johnson led the push to put a top-two system on the 2012 ballot, and voters rejected it by a two-to-one margin.

He thinks putting a top-two ballot measure in front of Arizona voters in 2016 would have different results.

“The grassroots, nonpartisan movement is really a nationwide effort," Johnson said. "We’re not the only state that will be pushing this.”
