IDAHO FALLS -- Idahoans will head to the polls next month and decide whether the election system in Idaho should be overhauled.
Proposition 1 is a ballot initiative that would repeal Idaho’s closed-party primary elections and create nonpartisan top-four primary elections. These would be open to all candidates and voters, regardless of party affiliation.
The proposition would also create ranked-choice voting in the general election. If passed, patrons would vote for their favorite candidate and have the option of ranking the remaining candidates in order of preference – second choice, third and fourth. If no candidate receives over 50% of votes, the candidate who receives the fewest votes is eliminated. Their votes are transferred to the voter’s next highest-ranked remaining active candidate. The process continues until there are two candidates remaining and the candidate with the most votes is elected the winner.
Hyrum Erickson, a precinct committeeman with the Madison County Republican Party, sat down with EastIdahoNews.com to explain why he supports the proposition and believes it's a good idea for Idaho.
