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 ONLY declared a party so I could vote in the May 2020Primary for a Democratic candidate that I believed could defeat Trump in PA and keep him from getting a second term.

    Allowing independents to vote in primaries will help candidates take less extreme positions and will keep us from having to pick between two candidates with diametrically opposing views. More voters will be involved and feel part of the process which is good for democracy.

    Only have to ask yourself one question: Will this action increase or decrease the number of people who get to have a voice in determining the direction of our democracy?

    There should also be a referendum vote in all 50 states giving people the choice of secession. I think a lot of us disapprove of the direction that the US has taken in the last 100 years. It’s painfully obvious to many that the country is governed from Wall Street. Czechoslovakia peacefully split into two independent states back in 1993; we can as well.
