Take Action: Sign Ballot PA's 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 have been independent since 2012 when worked Rocky Anderson’s Campaign for president. Also have considered running myself for local and state office in past and future but the 2% signature requirement is a mountain which also needs blown up and the same signature requirement needs to be in place like the Dems and repubs have

I pay my taxes and have been a Pennsylvania citizen since birth. ( 1962 ) . If they don’t want me to vote, then refund my taxes.

Had to register with a party just to get my voice heard, despite being independent. I fully support this movement!

I vote for the candidate I respect the most. Their character, their platform, and their plan, regardless of their party affiliation. I should have a say in who is effecting my life by way of law, legislation, and tax, especially when those taxes are covering their paycheck.

I was registered Independent when I found out I couldn’t vote in the primaries. Because of this I was forced to re-register as a Democrat. I found this to be horribly unfair and smacks of voting control.

I would like to vote as an Independent in EVERY election!
