More
Choice.

Simple.

More Candidates

Every Californian votes in the nonpartisan primary, regardless of party; just like now. Up to five vote-getters move on to the general election. Up to five real options in November — not two.

Fair.

You Choose

In the general election, mark the candidates in your order of preference — first choice, second choice, and so on. Skip anyone you don't. You're in charge.

Easy.

Majority Wins

If a candidate clears 50% of first-choice votes, they win outright. If not, the candidate with the broadest support — as determined by all voters' preferences — wins. No winner by plurality alone.

Why It Matters
When voters get a real say, candidates have to earn support beyond their base — and California gets leaders with a real mandate.

What is the California Right to Vote Amendment?

This amendment simply asserts the right of every voter, regardless of political party, to vote in primaries. Believe it or not, this is not the case everywhere in America. California can be the first to clearly express this right in its constitution — alongside the other fundamental protections California voters already have.
This amendment simply says up to five candidates, instead of two, should advance to the general election — when almost twice as many people vote. More candidates. More choice. Better dialogue for voters. Because voters mark their choices in order of preference, candidates have to earn second and third choices. Candidates can't just run a negative campaign to win.
The threat to voter participation is real on both sides. In Alaska, voters rejected a well-funded repeal of their top-four nonpartisan primary in 2024. In Texas, Republican Party leadership is in court trying to close its open primary. In California, the Democratic and Republican Party leadership is pushing to repeal the nonpartisan primary. These amendments lock in the voter's right before opponents can dismantle it.
No. Attacks on nonpartisan primaries come from both parties. When up to five candidates advance and voters show their order of preference, candidates have to earn support beyond their own base to win. That's bad for party insiders and good for voters. Our committee is nonpartisan by design — the coalition includes Democrats, Republicans, and independents.
Three things. Add your name to the coalition. Contact your legislator and ask them to support putting these amendments on the ballot. And if you're able, make a contribution to the committee. Every voice counts.
