Vote NO to Semi-Closed Primaries
Initiative 83 is threatening to dilute the Democrat’s vote if allowed on the ballot and successful in November.
Vote NO on Initiative 83
What is Initiative 83?
Initiative 83 if allowed on the November 2024 ballot and is successful, would bring Ranked Choice Voting to the District and more importantly would allow the implementation of Semi-Closed Primaries.
Why Stop Initiative 83?
The District’s Home Rule Act provides that the primary elections are closed. This means that only registered Democrats can vote in the primary election and select Democratic candidates for the general election.
The proposed semi-closed provisions of Initiative 83 would allow Independents to vote in the Democratic Primary election. Thereby allowing non-Democrats to have a say in who becomes the Democratic candidate for the general election. Democrats cannot allow this to happen!
How Can You Protect the Democrat’s Vote?
Don’t be fooled by special interest groups. Make no mistake that Initiative 83 and Semi-closed primaries are a direct attack on the Democratic values of the Democratic party and its members. This is an attempt to dilute and destroy the Democratic Vote in the District.
Democrats must protect closed primaries. Closed primaries provide a safeguard against potential interference from individuals who do not share the Democratic party's values.
