Let Your Voice Be Heard: Sign Our Petition

Stay up to date with the latest developments and volunteer opportunities.

Every spring, Pennsylvania's voters head to the polls for the Commonwealth's primary elections.

But not everyone is included in this process. That’s because primaries are closed in Pennsylvania.  More than 1.4 million taxpaying independent voters are denied their right to vote in these elections, despite paying their share of $75 million a year to fund them.

It’s time to #RepealClosedPrimaries and allow every legally registered voter to cast a ballot in PA’s primary.

77% of Pennsylvanians support repealing closed primaries - including strong majorities of independents, Democrats, and Republicans.

Repealing closed primaries would guarantee a more fair process, increase the competitiveness of races, and help limit the amount of extremism and gridlock on both sides.

Join the overwhelming majority of PA voters who favor repealing closed primaries.

    Primaries DEFNITELY should be open to Independent voters. Their voices are lost otherwise. They too should have a choice in who runs for various positions. They pay taxes; they are US citizens; they registered to VOTE! Let them VOTE in Primaries as well as general elections.

    I am interested in being part of the change to turn Pennsylvania into an open primary state.

    If independent voters were able to exercise their right to vote in the 2024 April primary I honestly believe our country would not be in the situation that we are in.

    I can’t think of a better way to decrease polarization and to reinforce the message that each vote matters.
