Why End Straight-Party Voting?
Every partisan race on the ballot should be a decision, not an automatic fill.
Intentional voting
When one box can fill every partisan race, many down-ballot contests are decided without the voter ever looking at the candidates. Every Vote Counts asks voters to make a deliberate choice in each race.
Accountability
Legislators, county officials, and other partisan races should earn support on their own record, not ride an automatic party mark.
Consistency
Oklahoma voters already mark judicial retention questions and state questions individually. This initiative applies the same standard to partisan contests.
Equal application
The change applies to every recognized political party and every voter. No party receives special treatment.
“One box shouldn't decide every race on your ballot.”
Mark every race. Be ready to add your signature.
