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.

    Open primary is the only way everyone can vote and have their voice heard. What is PA so backward on this issue? The Constitution quarantees that all persons eligible to vote are allowed to vote, but yet there are states like PA that prevent that from happening. It’s time to put closed primary in the dustbin and give ALL PA residents their quaranteed right to vote in every election!!!!!

    Young people who are newly registered to vote are stunned that they have to declare a party in order to vote in our primaries. It’s time for open primaries to encourage more voters to participate!

    Elections (including primarys) must be open to all American citizens, regardless of political party affiliation. Denying anyone legally eligible to vote is a violation of their constitutional rights. Therefore, the closed primary system currently in use in Pennsylvania is (in my opinion) unconstitutional.
