The National Association of Nonpartisan Reformers (NANR) is a member-led Association dedicated to structural election reforms in the public interest.We favor a robust competition of numerous political parties and independents, and a level playing field on which that can occur.
What unites us is being pro-voter, not anti-party.
From ranked choice voting in Maine and Alaska to open primaries in Colorado and California, our members have led impactful campaigns.

Being a NANR member gives you access to this trusted network of experienced partners, advisors, vendors, and other resources to make sure you have all the tools to advance reform nationally, in states and in your community.

Who We Are

We, as individuals and/or representatives of organizations, in order to foster a government that is representative of and responsive to the people, are dedicated to advancing electoral reforms and strategies that increase competition, participation, and accountability in our political system. Major party incumbents have created institutional barriers to insulate themselves from these reforms.

The absence of a competitive political system denies voters fair and equitable access to their government. Such absence of access further denies candidates for elected office any reasonable capacity to freely express their opinions, offer such opinions for consideration of the electorate, or otherwise impact the course of public policy.

Further, the destruction of electoral competition diminishes the role of innovation in our political discourse, including within the Republican and Democratic parties, replacing the historic focus on new ideas in the American public square with the specter of the two parties’ prevailing views.

We further recognize that the remedy to our unrepresentative and unresponsive government is to transfer control of the electoral process back to the people by challenging the institutionalized advantages that any party has, and we resolve to mount that challenge.

We believe that a more fair and competitive election system will not only strengthen our democracy, but will also improve the responsiveness and credibility of the two major parties. We favor a robust competition of numerous political parties and independents, and a level playing field on which that can occur.

In our common pursuit of this right and essential objective, we support the establishment of a formal Association of nonpartisan, reform-oriented organizations and individuals that can facilitate shared resources, establish common objectives, and promote general efforts to provide more choice to voters and better representation to every citizen of the United States regardless of their party affiliation or non-affiliation.
