Your sentence should read “contributing to the Arizona initiative that would reform the primary system in that state by replacing the partisan primary with a Top 2 Open Primary.”

#1, “reform”, as an adjective for the top-two system, was removed from the California voters pamphlet and the ballot by the California State Court of Appeals in 2010. The opinion said “reform” implies improvement.
reform
