We don't just advocate for reform. We write it into law — and win in court.
IVP's legal work is the engine behind every reform we pursue. We author legislation, build the constitutional framework, and defend it in court. Our track record isn't theoretical — it's precedent.
Reform without legal durability is just a press release.
Most reform efforts focus on advocacy and public pressure. IVP starts there too — but we go further. We author the actual legislation, build the constitutional argument, and defend it when the inevitable legal challenges come. That's what separates reform that lasts from reform that gets struck down.
Every case we've fought has strengthened the legal foundation for nonpartisan elections. Each precedent makes the next reform harder to challenge and easier to replicate in other states.

Authored Initiatives
We don't just support reform — we write it. IVP has authored ballot measures that changed how elections work in California and San Diego, and the legal groundwork we built continues to protect those wins.
In the Courtroom
When reform passes, the establishment fights back. We defend every win in court — and we challenge systems that lock voters out. Our legal record spans offense and defense at every level of the judiciary.
A decade of legal work
Legal reform is expensive.
