This joint resolution proposes a constitutional amendment that would require all statewide elected offices (except judges) to go through a primary election before the general election. If approved by voters, this would change how candidates for offices like Governor, Secretary of State, and other statewide positions are nominated.
This bill does not directly amend codified state law.
