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.

    Repeal closed primaries. As an independent I consistently vote when allowed in November of the year elections are held. I would like to have the opportunity to vote during the primary election that precedes the November election. Please give me that opportunity by repealing closed primaries. Thank you.

    Independent voters are forced to party register to be able to vote in all PA elections or forced to miss voting if staying true to registering as a non republican or Democrat voter. Time to end this.

    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.
