Answer

  • STAR Voting is highly accurate with any number of candidates in the race, so there’s no need for a primary for nonpartisan elections in most cases. 
  • Primaries generally have lower turnout than general elections, which means they aren’t as representative as they could be.
  • Eliminating unnecessary primaries makes running for office more accessible and affordable for candidates, shortens the campaign season, and would save taxpayers money as well.
