Country Over Party

At Veterans for All Voters, we believe that all voters are worth fighting for.

As veterans, we took an oath to serve and protect our nation. Now, we’re leading the charge to make elections more fair, functional, and free of partisan gridlock.

Through education, advocacy, and leadership, we’re ensuring that every American’s voice is heard.

A Broken System.
A Veteran-Led Solution.

America’s political system is more divided than ever, leaving voters frustrated and disillusioned.

Partisan primaries and uncompetitive elections put politicians before the people. But veterans have a history of putting country over party—and we’re leading the way with solutions like Final-Five Voting, which restores accountability, competition, and trust in our elections.

Reform Solutions That Change Incentives

Top Four or Five
Open Primaries

We believe many of our problems start with partisan primaries. Nearly half of all veterans identify as political independents and they are prevented from participating in closed primaries.

IRV or Approval Voting

Adopting IRV (Instant Runoff Voting) can save jurisdications money and increase civility in campaigns.

Final-Five Voting

Final Five Voting is a powerful combination of a top-five open primary election and ranked choice voting in the general election. We recommend checking out this video to learn more about Final Five Voting
