Voters will decide on Massachusetts ‘jungle primaries’ after court OKs ballot measure
Massachusetts' Supreme Judicial Court approved a ballot proposal for 'jungle primaries,' where all candidates for an office appear on the same primary ballot, and the top two vote-getters advance to the general election unless one secures over 50% in the primary. Voters will decide in November whether to adopt the system, following a lawsuit arguing it violates the state constitution, which the court rejected.
