Welcome to the Web site of the IOP, America's first Issues-Only Political Party.
IOP is a new type of open-source political party that does not sponsor or draft candidates to run in traditional (closed source) elections.

IOP's interest and focus is on issues: instead of nominating and supporting candidates, we nominate and support issue-specific proposals that have the potential to attract a visible majority of voters in a given jurisdiction. Instead of soliciting votes for candidates, we solicit "No" Vote Pledges for our issue-specific propositions.

Q&A: What is a "No" Vote Pledge? How Do NVP Campaigns Work?
Why Do NVP Campaigns Work? Why Should I Participate?

To cast your "No" Vote(s), click the checkbox at the bottom of each issue you wish to support; then fill out the form at the end of the page; then answer the security question; then click "Submit Your No Votes" at the very bottom, and you're done.
