We sit down with Jeremy, Senior VP of Open Primaries, to dig into a new IVP/Open Primaries poll of registered NYC Democrats - and what it reveals is wild.
A new SurveyUSA poll finds overwhelming majorities of DC voters say ranked choice voting was easy, support using it, and want independents included in taxpayer-funded primaries.
Undoing Top Two means telling 6.9 million independent voters they may no longer participate in primary elections unless they sign up with a club they have already decided not to join.
New York, Maryland, and Utah are holding publicly funded primaries today—but the voters who refuse to join a party remain locked outside the contests that often decide who governs them.

Voters back open primaries, fairer ballot access, and more power at the ballot box as the Charter Revision Commission weighs whether to let residents vote on election reform in November.
New polling finds most registered Democrats support letting independents vote in Democratic primaries — and nearly 4 in 10 say they only registered Democratic because New York City gives them no other meaningful choice.
In this episode of the Independent Voter Podcast, Chad and Shawn sit down with Lisa Rice, founder of Grow Democracy DC and a leading voice in the election reform movement.
