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 used to live in a state with open primaries and it worked well., though I believe they went to closed primaries sometime after I moved. Open primaries allow one to vote for their choice of best candidate and I hope would also allow non-affiliated voters to have a say before the general election.

    Everyone should have the right to vote – it shouldn’t depend on party membership or propensity.

    Why not? There are certain local offices i.e. School Boards, etc. that matter a LOT, and the primary really decides who will serve. We pay taxes, we should be allowed to vote in primaries.
