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 have moved to independent because I did not align to the growing extreme of my former party. I would like to see more moderate candidates, but as an independent, only greater extreme candidates make the ballots in which I CAN vote. This undermines my reason for independent status.

    We need fair honest open elections. It is time to end closed primaries. The largest voting block in this country is independents.

    It’s been far too long. We the people, who should have a voice in representative government, are denied that right. “No taxation without representation”.
