In a state where most campaigns are decided in the primary, a group of would-be reformers wants to force political discourse to the center by upending the entire election system. The group, known as the Open Government Committee, is crafting a constitutional amendment for the 2012 ballot that would restructure elections in Arizona. Under the proposal, all candidates in a race would run on a single ballot in the primary, with the top two candidates proceeding to the general election, regardless of party.
A group looking to put a constitutional amendment on the 2012 ballot that would create a "top two" primary in Arizona wants input before it formally submits the proposal.

These are veteran legislators who have a deep understanding of how government works and have accumulated an intricate knowledge of specific areas, such as state finance, taxation and veterans affairs.
