Let Your Voice Be Heard: Sign Our Petition

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.

    this is an absolutely disgusting practice that needs to end…the two parties have rigged elections in 9 states for far too long…the fact that i can’t participate in a primary because i don’t declare myself to a party makes me absolutely sick to my stomach…this country was founded on the basis of no parties and my voting rights are being stifled by these two parties…can you hear thomas jefferson and abraham lincoln rolling in their graves?…


    clearly us independents are the sensible ones deciding the actual direction of this country and if we can’t get this closed primary repealed, there needs to be a third option


    please sign this and end this once and for all!!


    or let’s start supporting more independent candidates
