A prоpоsаl which hаs been mаde tо attempt to lessen the influence of political parties is to eliminate the political party based primary system and go to a nonpartisan primary. Under such a system, anyone eligible to hold the office could file to run in the primary. Each candidate would be free to declare a party affiliation if they chose, but would not be required to do so. The mechanics would then function much as under the present system in that the top two vote getters would be the candidates in the general election. Would the adoption of such a system in Texas serve to improve the functioning of government?
