    As NYC votes, open primary advocates press Mamdani panel to let more than 1 million voters into primaries

    Open-primary advocates are urging Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s charter revision commission to include over 1 million unaffiliated New York City voters in primaries. The current closed system excludes these voters from party primaries unless they enroll in a party, but advocates have not yet proposed a specific replacement system. Mamdani’s Commission on Government Efficiency is gathering public input on potential City Charter changes.

    Advocates push for Pennsylvania to leave its closed primary system behind

    Pennsylvania's closed primary system excludes over 1.5 million independent and third-party voters from partisan primaries. Advocates, including Open Primaries founder John Opdycke, argue the system is outdated and exclusionary, citing rising independent voter numbers and public support for open primaries. A Franklin & Marshall College poll shows 77% of Pennsylvanians favor switching to an open primary system.
