Our Work

Open Primaries is building a national movement to empower voters, expand political participation, and ensure every American has an equal voice in our democracy. We fight on every front—from the courts and state legislatures to ballot initiatives and statewide campaigns. But at our core, we are grassroots organizers, bringing independent voters and independent-minded Americans together to demand equal rights, advance meaningful reform, and build a democracy that works for everyone. We’re not just changing election rules. We’re organizing people to make their voices heard and shape the future of our democracy.

How We Win Reform

This is an example page. It’s different from a blog post because it will stay in one place and will show up in your site navigation (in most themes). Most people start with an About page that introduces them to potential site visitors. It might say,

One Movement. Many Fronts.

Changing the rules takes more than one strategy. We organize voters, advance legislation, challenge exclusionary laws in court, and build statewide campaigns to put reform on the ballot. Every campaign is different. Every victory brings us closer to a democracy where voters—not political parties—decide who gets to participate.

Organizing Independent Voters.
Building Independent Power

Independent voters are too often overlooked by a political system built around the two major parties. Millions are shut out of primary elections, lack a collective voice, and have no organized movement fighting for their rights. Open Primaries is working to change that. We organize independent voters, connect them across the country, build grassroots leadership, and fight for their right to participate equally in our democracy.
