Rexburg forum discusses Open Primary Initiative, allows people to hear both sides of the arguments
The Rexburg area Chamber of Commerce hosted an open forum on the continuing debate on the Open Primary Initiative and Ranked Choice voting. The forum took place in Rexburg City Hall and in the City Council chambers.
As open primaries could be a part of Idaho's political future, many attended the debate to learn more about what both sides had to say. If passed, the Open Primaries Initiative would open Idaho's primary elections so that any registered voter, regardless of politIcal party, could participate. It would also introduce Ranked Choice Voting as our voting format. In favor of the initiative was Hyrum Erickson.
