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’m a non-affiliated voter, but think all legal US citizens should vote in all elections.

    I pay the taxes that are used to run the primary, I think that should entitle me to vote in them. Otherwise, the parties involved should be charged with running “their” primary.

    Very unfair having to affiliate. Please fix this issue. And publicize your findings since most agree.

    Every citizen has a right to vote in every election. It’s high time to give 1.2 million voters a say in who will represent them in general elections, which will likely improve the quality of our representative government. It’s a win for voters and a win for the Commonwealth.

    I was raised to believe that every vote counts. I was wrong. If you are not a Democrat or a Republican in Pennsylvania only half your vote counts. Both parties like it this so they can target a message to their constituents. Very understandable, but the messages generated by both dont benefit the whole. If they can’t target a message they will force to attend to our basic needs. As a citizen, 6th generation, an army veteran and a descendent of slaves, I want more.
