Publish legislator roll call committee votes
This is a no-brainer. Citizens should be able to go to the General Assembly website and view the voting record of their legislator, including committee votes.

Eliminate straight-ticket voting
This is a question at the top of the ballot asking the voter if he/she wants to vote for all members of a particular party with one vote. This does not allow the voter to choose their candidates, one at a time, or to not vote for a candidate he/she may not know. Only 14 states have straight-party voting, including Rhode Island.

  2009-H 5318 Rep. Brian Newberry
 
Public financing of elections
To allow public financing of General Assembly and General Office candidates.
