SQ 836

SQ 836 is a citizen petition seeking an open primary in which all voters see all candidates on a single, unified primary ballot.  All candidates face all voters in every election. 

Oklahoma voters are not being served by closed primaries and status quo.  Nearly 500,000 Independents are unable to fully participate.  Our voter turnout is chronically LAST in the US.  Our citizens aren't buying what's on the menu in closed primaries and feel they don't matter. Research shows most voters want to choose the best person for the job regardless of party affiliation. Adopting an open primary system, like we use in every town and city in Oklahoma today with much higher satisfaction, makes sense and will put the focus on the people, and force officials to listen to ALL their constituents, not just a tiny fraction who show up in a partisan primary and closed run-off election.
