The Open Our Democracy Act is a bill introduced in the United States House of Representatives by U.S. Representative John Delaney. The bill would establish Election Day as a federal holiday, mandate open and top-two primary elections so that all eligible voters can participate in them, and end gerrymandering by requiring independent commissions to draw the districts in each state.{{cite press release|title=Delaney Introduces Bill to End Gerrymandering, Reform Elections|url=https://delaney.house.gov/news/press-releases/delaney-introduces-bill-to-end-gerrymandering-reform-elections|publisher=United States Congress|accessdate=July 4, 2017}}{{cite news
