It has been a long road for reformers in New Mexico, but the legislature has passed a bill that would open state primary elections to a quarter of the state's voting population registered unaffiliated of a political party.

Closed primaries are coming to Louisiana in 2026, but a new poll shows that state voters across the political spectrum overwhelmingly favor open primaries where any voter can vote for any candidate running for office.

On Tuesday, March 18, the nonprofit reform group Open Primaries will host an online virtual discussion featuring a legendary figure in journalism: Chuck Todd, who moderated NBC's Meet the Press for nearly 10 years.

With a short legislative window to work with, the updates on a bill to open New Mexico's taxpayer-funded primary elections to more than 330,000 independent voters are happening fast -- and so far, it is good news for reformers.

In June 2024, a citizen assembly of people from across sociopolitical backgrounds in New Hampshire did the seemingly impossible in today's hyper-polarized political climate: They put their differences aside and put forward initiatives to restore trust in the political process.

There are more than 330,000 registered independent voters in New Mexico. However, none of these voters have full access to the taxpayer-funded elections process as a result of the state's closed partisan primary system.

In New York City, it goes without saying that the most consequential election in nearly every race is in the Democratic Primary. However, if registered independent voters don't join a party soon, they will be completely denied a say.

The nonprofit reform group Open Primaries hosted its first Primary Buzz Discussion of 2025 last week. But this conversation worked differently as Open Primaries President John Opdycke was the one being interviewed.

Oklahoma City Mayor David Holt sat down with former RNC chair and MSNBC commentator Michael Steele to talk about the difference between the partisan politics in DC versus the more pragmatic outcomes at the local level.

Indiana lawmakers will consider a bill filed in the state's House of Representatives that seeks to the close the state's primary elections and condition full voting rights on joining one of two major political parties.
