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’m completely FOR this… however, I had better not get even MORE texts and phone calls about politics because I’ve signed.

    In 2016, I changed my party affiliation to “independent,” knowing full well that I was sacrificing my ability to vote by doing it. It was a principled position; but at the same time, it was also a choice I should not have had to make: If Pennsylvania had open primaries, I could have followed my conscience without losing my rights. I wholeheartedly support #RepealClosedPrimaries!
