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.

    My home state where I first voted had open primaries. I was not happy when I moved to PA and found I couldn’t vote in primaries if I registered as an independent, which I had done in the past.

    Let’s strengthen our democracy by allowing every voter to vote in every election! Independents are the fasting-growing voter segment and closed primaries bar participation – let’s fix this easily-addressable issue NOW!

    The right to vote should not be denied based on party affiliation. It’s time to repeal closed primaries and allow all registered voters to vote in PA’s primaries!
