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.
Melaleuca Executive Chairman Frank VanderSloot sat down with EastIdahoNews.com to explain why he is against the proposition and believes it's a bad idea for Idaho.
