Governors in the eight Intermountain Region states are currently exploring the idea of creating a combined Western Presidential Primary, believing that if more states band together, the western states would have more influence over the presidential nominee process and more attention would be afforded to western issues, including public lands, energy, water, and immigration.

The Western Policy Research Network hosted its 2006 Symposium, “Western Presidential Primary", a gathering of public officials, party leaders, practitioners and academics to explore the potential of hosting a Western Presidential Primary, the challenges of implementing a primary, and the possible impact of a Western Presidential Primary.

The 2006 Symposium featured several panel discussions, comprised of both practitioners and academics that investigate the multitude of issues surrounding a Western Presidential Primary.
