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 am in favor of allowing all voters to participate in primaries. Also, I am in favor of allowing voters participate in either party primary regardless of the party affiliation of the voter.

    Democrat here but always believed that independants should be able to vote where they want in all elections. Make it happen!

    I had to register with a party I don’t align with solely so I could exercise my right to vote. This system is antiquated and needs to change.

    As a former Independent, who changed parties just to be able to vote in primaries, the current system is broken and antiquated.
