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 remain an independent, because I don’t believe in “identity” politics where I’m pigeon-holed to cast my vote for whomever is on the ballot under a democrat or republican designation. I vote for the best candidate with the policies that I align with, and also a person of high morality and character, and one who is NOT a felon or S.A. I pay my state and federal taxes and deserve to have my voice heard and vote counted in every election, as does every Pennsylvanian. Don’t shut us out. Open the Primaries – our democracy and country is at stake.

    I am a registered Democrat in Blair County, and that greatly limits my primary voting choices. I no longer want to be affiliated with any political party and want to change my registration to independent. However, registering as independent will further limit my voting choices in primary elections. Change Pennsylvania to open primaries. I want to be able to vote in primaries for the person I deem most worthy of my vote regardless of their party affiliation.
