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.

    Only have to ask yourself one question: Will this action increase or decrease the number of people who get to have a voice in determining the direction of our democracy?

    There should also be a referendum vote in all 50 states giving people the choice of secession. I think a lot of us disapprove of the direction that the US has taken in the last 100 years. It’s painfully obvious to many that the country is governed from Wall Street. Czechoslovakia peacefully split into two independent states back in 1993; we can as well.

    PA politics would still be in the age of fiefs and vassals without FDPA. Everything FDPA sets its sights on increases Voters’ chances of actually having a say in what the entrenched overlords DO.

    I changed parties to become a Democrat so that I could vote in primaries. But I would prefer to be Independent. Everyone, of whatever party, should be able vote in primaries. Then we might be able to choose among candidates that know they need to listen to all of us, to actually campaign to represent a wider range of us.

    Primaries should be open. Period. Closed primaries are contrary to the principles of democracy. Every registered voter should have the legal right to vote in every election regardless of party affiliation.
