Political Organizations Supporting or Opposing Proposition 1

By • September 22, 2024

Idaho Dispatch is compiling a list of political organizations that support or oppose Proposition 1.

Previously, Idaho Dispatch compiled a list of current congressional, state, and legislative elected officials who support or oppose Proposition 1. You can view that list here.

Organizations will be listed in alphabetical order by their support or opposition. Whenever possible, a direct open source link will be provided to the organization’s stance and listed as “Supports” or “Opposes.” If a public statement cannot be linked, but Idaho Dispatch has heard from the organization directly, it will say “Direct Message” next to their name. Organizations will also be color-coded to keep consistency with our elected officials’ list. Green means the organization supports Prop 1, while red means the organization is opposed.

Prop 1 will do two things, according to the “Long Title” on the ballot:

“First, this measure would abolish Idaho’s party primaries. Under current law, political parties nominate candidates through primary elections in which party members vote for a candidate to represent the party in the general election.

The initiative creates a system where all candidates participate in a top-four primary and voters may vote on all candidates. The top four vote-earners for each office would advance to the general election. Candidates could list any affiliation on the ballot, but would not represent political parties, and need not be associated with the party they name.”

“Second, the measure would require a ranked-choice voting system for the general election. Under current law, voters may select one candidate for each office, and the candidate with the most votes wins. Under the ranked-choice voting system, voters rank candidates on the ballot in order of preference, but need not rank every candidate.

The votes are counted in successive rounds, and the candidate receiving the fewest votes in each round is eliminated. A vote for an eliminated candidate will transfer to the voter’s next-highest-ranked active candidate. The candidate with the most votes in the final round wins.”

If you see an organization that has taken a public stance for or against Proposition 1 that is not listed here, please email us at greg@idahodispatch.com to get it listed here. Please note this is for political organizations only.
