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 ending the closed primary process in Pennsylvania. Please add my support to the bill being presented in Harrisburg to do so.

    Independents are the “key” to a democratic society based on ideas versus party.

    It has always amazed me how not counting this vote or that vote is in the news for the Democrats and the Republicans but never for the rest of us. I welcome the day when I can again exercise my given right to vote in the primary election. It’s like we are penalized for being open-minded.

    All voters deserve a chance to select the best candidates for the general election. Party extremists should not have a disproportionate voice.
