Are you concerned about the confusing labels for independent voters and candidates in federal elections? 

 This petition calls on the U.S. Congress to mandate a standardized naming convention, using "Independent" universally. This change stems from the inconsistencies and misleading practices observed across states, especially in California.

Imagine a system where every voter clearly understands their choices and independent candidates are fairly represented. This petition ensures clarity, fairness, and informed decision-making in our democratic process.

We, the undersigned, call upon the United States Congress to introduce and pass legislation mandating using the single term "Independent" for all independent candidates and voters in federal elections. This initiative stems from the growing concern over the inconsistent and often misleading labeling practices in various states, particularly California.

Our democracy thrives on clarity, fairness, and the ability of every voter to make informed decisions. The current state-by-state approach to labeling independents—often using terms like "No Party Preference," "No Qualified Party Preference," or other ambiguous designations—confuses and potentially undermines the democratic process. This inconsistency disadvantages independent candidates and misleads voters about their true voting choices.

Standardizing the naming convention to the single word "Independent" ensures a clear, transparent, and fair electoral process. Such a federal law would safeguard the rights of independent voters and candidates, ensuring their proper representation and recognition in the political arena.

Let us unite in advocating for a more transparent and democratic electoral system where every voice is accurately and truthfully represented, and every choice is made clear. Your support in this matter is crucial for the integrity and fairness of our democratic process.
