A proposed constitutional amendment that will change Arizona's election system to an open primary and top-two general will be on the November ballot.
The proposal, pushed by the Open Government Committee, was cleared for the ballot Thursday when the Arizona Supreme Court affirmed the decision of a Maricopa County Superior Court judge that it qualified for the ballot.
Opponents, led by Republican legislators, had sued saying too many signatures were invalid, at least in part because convicted felons circulated the petitions.
The proposal would create a primary election open to all candidates and all voters, regardless of party affiliation and would not require them to state their parties.
The top two vote getters then would be matched in the general election, again regardless of party affiliations.
