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.

    Would be an independent if this was in effect.

    So instead, I change parties twice a year.

    As a registered Pennsylvanian voter I strongly endorse opening the primaries. This will finally allow true representation to all Pennsylvanians.

    I am absolutely sick of not being able to cast a vote to elect a non-partisan candidate. It strips me of a democratic process upon which the nation was founded.

    As an independent, I resent not being able to vote easily (without changing registration)

    Unfair to everyone, not just veterans like me.
