Massachusetts H5003 proposes to implement all-party state primaries, allowing all candidates to appear on one ballot.

Massachusetts H5003 proposes to change the state's primary election system by eliminating political party primaries. Instead, it would establish a single, all-party primary where all candidates, regardless of party affiliation, would be listed on one ballot. Voters could vote for any candidate in the primary. The two candidates receiving the most votes would advance to the general election ballot. The bill also includes provisions for political party status for groups whose candidates received at least 3% of the ballots cast in the state primary.
