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.

    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.

    It is ridiculous that independents cannot vote for anyone in the primary elections. I was very upset when I found out about this complete bullshit law. What ever happened to free and fair elections? What, we have to vote for democrats and republicans only? If we want to vote for anyone else we have to do an incredible amount of extra work. This is corruption.
