July 30th, 2009Probably the voters of Tulsa, Oklahoma, will vote on November 10, 2009, whether to switch the city’s partisan elections to non-partisan elections. See this story. The initiative (to provide for non-partisan elections) needs 3,427 signatures. Over 6,000 signatures were submitted. As far as is known, Tulsa is the only city in Oklahoma that holds partisan elections for its own officers.

Big bad bully Phoenix forced Tucson to abandon partisan primaries. I am no fan of such preliminaries, but I think the locals, be it school districts, water authorities, and enfranchisement agents, should decide their own situations.
