Electoral Reform
1. All state-wide and local campaigns should be publicly financed. A system such as Clean Money Campaign Reform, currently being used in Arizona, Maine, New Mexico, North Carolina and Vermont, serves as a good model.
2. Ballot access for third parties must be made easier. Current Indiana rules make it extremely difficult for third party and independent candidates to get on the ballot for state or national office. The minimum number of signatures of registered voters required to get on the ballot should be ½ of 1% of total votes for Secretary of State in that district. The deadline for petition signatures should be noon the day after Labor Day of the election year
3. Broadcast bands are public property so it is fair to require broadcast media using those bands to fulfill public needs as a condition of their licensing. All broadcast media within the state should be required to dedicate a certain amount of time to fair and balanced campaign coverage as a public service to the community. In this coverage, each candidate for a particular office should be given equal air time to present her/his views on the issues.
4. IGP calls for replacing winner-take-all election systems with proportional representation and instant run-offs.
5. IGP supports the use of public referendums in the state of Indiana.
