Why does California need Top 3? Kylie explains.
California’s open primary was a step forward from partisan primaries. But in a state as large, diverse, and politically independent as ours, advancing only two candidates to November can leave voters with too little choice.
It’s time to level up California’s election system.
Top 3 keeps California’s all-voter primary and improves what happens next.
All voters participate in the primary. The top three candidates advance to the general election.
In the general election, voters express a preference in head-to-head matchups of the candidates.
Just like a round-robin tournament, the winning candidate is the candidate who defeats every other candidate head-to-head.
This ensures that the election winner is the candidate who best and most fairly reflects the voters’ choices.
