The purpose of this amendment is not to enshrine the two-party system that has contributed to extreme polarization in our country, but to shed sunlight on this existing dynamic that is currently hidden by farce of “nonpartisan” races. We deserve an electoral process that is transparent, encourages increased participation in the democratic process, and that protects the values chosen by voters in each election. This charter amendment will accomplish these goals and will deliver a more representative government for all Aurorans.
