California's top-two elections system mitigates vote-splitting, but does not eliminate it. This is at the top of many Californians minds now, as the Governor's race is highlighting the issue.

Some have proposed getting rid of the top-two system, but why go from one broken system to an older also-broken system? Instead, why don't we upgrade to a better voting method?

Our chapter is working on just that, with a proposal to upgrade California's elections to Approval Voting plus Top Two. If you'd like to get involved, join in the fun here! equal.vote/join

If you are in California, please sign the petition to upgrade elections to Approval Voting plus a top two runoff. If you are not in California, please share this with your California friends and family! https://www.equal.vote/upgrade-ca-primaries

With its problems laid bare by the California Governor's race it's important to remember that Top Two is still more accurate than traditional primaries and a general with one candidate from each party -- but there's definitely room for improvement.
