DENVER — The Colorado Supreme Court ruled last week that an open primary and ranked-choice voting initiative can move forward to the signature gathering process, making it likely to appear on the November ballot.
Open primaries and ranked-choice voting would completely overhaul the way Colorado conducts its elections. An open primary places all candidates for an office onto one ballot regardless of party affiliation. The top four vote-getters then move onto the general election where voters can rank them in order of preference.
However, concerns remain about the future of open primaries and RCV in Colorado due to a last-minute amendment on an election bill this past legislative session. The amendment essentially requires the secretary of state to conduct and certify a trial run in 12 different municipalities of varying populations before being able to implement RCV statewide.
Carroll is now a senior fellow with FairVote, an RCV advocate group, and is the only African American to serve as the state Speaker of the House.
