Every registered voter in Nevada deserves the right to vote. And voters deserve candidates who are accountable to the people of Nevada - not to party bosses and special interests.

By opening Nevada’s current closed political primary system, Question 3 will give every registered voter in Nevada the right to participate in primary elections - and give voters more choices in who represents us.

Question 3 gives Nevada’s 600,000 non-partisan voters the right to vote in primaries.

By opening Nevada’s primaries, Question 3 on November's ballot will give every Nevadan the right to vote - regardless of party registration. Currently, Nevada’s closed election system excludes over 600,000 voters from participating in primaries because they are not registered to either major political party. Question 3 will guarantee the right to vote to independent and third party registered voters, resulting in candidates appealing to the full electorate, not just the most extreme voices from within their parties. Question 3 takes the power away from political party bosses and special interests and gives that power back to its rightful owner - the people of Nevada.

Why Nevadans Support Question 3

Current Voting System is Unfair and Leads to Extreme Candidates

The currently closed primary system excludes over 1/3 of Nevada voters from participating in primary elections because they are not registered as Democrat or Republican. This gives power to political party bosses and special interests over elected representatives, since the eventual winners are selected by a small minority of partisan primary voters. On the general election ballot, Nevada voters feel like they have to choose between the "lesser of two evils". Question 3 will fix this unfair system and give a voice to all.

Open Primaries Give All Voters The Right to Vote

Question 3 returns power to the people of Nevada. Under Question 3, all registered voters will have the right to participate, regardless of party registration. This ensures more ideological diversity in general election candidates and allows Nevadans to choose candidates who most align with their values.

More Choice on the General Election Ballot Leads to More Competitive Elections and More Accountable Office Holders

Question 3 would give Nevadans more choice on the general election ballot and send a clear message to Nevada’s elected representatives - do your job, or lose your job. By making our elections more competitive, incumbents will need more than just partisan support to stay in office. They will need a track record of real results, or risk being replaced by candidates with real solutions.
