It's a jungle primary, where everyone including independents all run in the same primary. Only the two that advance compete in the general. So no scope for any more independents to jump in at the final stage.

Just a tweak away from having a fantastic election system. Allow the top *five* to advance, and use ranked voting in the general. Then that's Final Five Voting, like Alaska does - quite a good system and much better than the current mess CA has. political-innovation.org/wp-content/u...

Yes. But this effort will be most successful if we can find both Democrats and Republicans who are willing to put country over party. It is what we are trying to build with the #electionreform and Forward Party movements @fwdvirginia.bsky.social @ncfwd.bsky.social

The form of RCV used in Alaska, instant runoff, creates perverse outcomes that give credence to backlash. If 5,200 Begich voters would have stayed home in the 2022 Special Election, Begich would've won. It's why it is important to get reform right. More here: bustingbigpolitics.com/btr-irv-a-vo...
