On June 20, California State Assemblymember Kevin Kiley (R-Rocklin) introduced ACA 16, which would repeal the top-two system and return to the system in effect 2000-2010. During those years, independent voters were always allowed to vote in all Republican and Democratic primaries for congress and partisan state office. Here is the text.
The measure needs two-thirds in each house to pass, and if it did pass the legislature, then the voters would vote on it. Thanks to Eric Wong for this news.
Assemblymember Kiley represents the part of California that is mostly in the State Senate Fourth District. This is the fourth-most Republican Senate district in the state, by registration, and yet this is the district in which voters are barred by the top-two system from voting for any Republican this coming November.
Does this have ANY realistic chance of success?
No.
Yes it does. The California Secretary of State, and the former Attorney General (who is now in President Biden’s cabinet), when asked in public meetings by me, have expressed a desire to eliminate the top-two system. Many leaders of the Democratic Party of California, including Nancy Pelosi, have expressed a desire to eliminate the top-two system.

This would be great if this passes, but I am thinking the Democrats will block it.
Kevin Kiley ran for Governor in the recall election last year.

No chance this passes. The commies love Top 2, but they prefer Top 1.
That’s racist!
“No chance this passes. The commies love Top 2, but they prefer Top 1.”
True!
Actually, Peace and Freedom Party is opposed to the Top-Two (Only Two) system and would like to see it replaced with Proportional Representation for legislative seats and Ranked Choice Voting for statewide offices.
It should be called Top Zero
Republicans are nothing but a party of conspiracy theorists.
