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.

    I am one of the people that’s a voting-suppressed independent and have known for decades that closed primaries are nothing else but the legal form of voter suppression. I’m in for the repeal on closed primaries. It’s LONG overdue.

    I definitely approve of this. My right to vote has been denied just because I may not be in a certain party.

    This, along with rank choice voting, could do a lot in reducing animosity between different groups of citizens, and make it in the interest of our elected officials to actually try to solve problems and not demonize the other candidates,

    Being a registered Independent means that I am not affiliated with either party. This closed primary business precludes me from voting- that is wrong!
