One of the most contentious issues Idahoans will see on their ballot this election is not the presidential or legislative races, but a “yes” or “no” vote on Proposition 1. Proposition 1 is a citizen-driven ballot initiative that would establish a primary where all candidates are listed on one ballot regardless of party affiliation. The Idaho Capital Sun reports the proposition would also create a ranked-choice voting system in the general election, meaning that rather than selecting one candidate for office, voters could rank the candidates in order of preference. The Idaho Republican Party has strongly opposed Proposition 1, arguing on its website it is “a plot to engineer election results to turn Idaho blue.” However, the initiative has garnered widespread support from other Republican, Independent and Democratic voters across the state who argue the change would allow the 275,000 registered unaffiliated voters in Idaho to vote in the state’s primary elections. Wealthy Idahoans, everyday residents, local politicians and out-of-state groups have spent thousands of dollars to support and oppose Proposition 1.
