On November 21, the Board of Californians for Electoral Reform (“CfER”) voted to oppose the ballot measure that will be on the California ballot in June 2010. The ballot measure will probably appear on the ballot as the “Top-Two Open Primary”, because that is the name the legislature gave it when it voted in February 2009 to put it on the ballot.

CfER has been organized for more than ten years, and it has effectively advanced alternate voting systems in several cities in California, especially the use of Instant-Runoff Voting in San Francisco.
