The Independent Voter Project (IVP) has Launched a Campaign to create an All Independents Presidential Primary in California.
Independent Voting has joined a growing coalition of Reform Organizations to support the Campaign, including: the National Association of NonPartisan Reformers, Open Primaries, FairVote, Unite America, RepresentUs, and others.
The Campaign includes both a Legislative and Legal Strategy and seeks to create a Presidential Ballot for California's 5.6 Million Independent Voters, known in California as "No Party Preference" Voters.
Every Independent would receive a Primary Ballot that includes All the Presidential Candidates.
Political Parties can choose whether or Not to Count the Votes from this Ballot.
The Campaign asserts a very simple premise, "Elections should serve People, not Parties."
Said Chad Peace, IVP Attorney, "Let the Democratic Party have its primary ballot. Let the Republican Party have its primary ballot. Why not give California's 5 million nonpartisan tax-paying citizens who have exercised their first amendment right not to join either party the opportunity to cast a vote by simply providing them a ballot too?"
