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.

    We won’t be switching back and forth anymore, from Independent, to party of choice before elections.

    Not only should we have open primaries in PA, all primaries across the nation should be run on the same day. I’m so fed up with our primary votes in PA not meaning anything in the presidential election. Let the people decide who should run for office, not the party corruption.

    I am concerned about tour AD featuring Rep Valerie Gaydos that appeared in the Sewickley Herald for two consecutive weeks. It is somewhat misleading, so might be sending a message that ballotpa.org did not intend.
