"Exploring the Rise of Ranked Choice Voting and Open Primaries in U.S. Election Reforms"

Arizona and Idaho are pushing for nonpartisan primaries with ranked-choice voting, while Pennsylvania is looking to allow independent voters in partisan primaries. Oregon is gathering signatures for a similar initiative, and Nevada is moving towards an open primary system. Conversely, Ohio is contemplating more restrictive measures. These changes aim to engage more voters and ensure that election winners have broader support.
