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.

    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.

    I am one of the people that’s a voting-suppressed independent and have known for decades that closed primaries are nothing else but the legal form of voter suppression. I’m in for the repeal on closed primaries. It’s LONG overdue.

    I definitely approve of this. My right to vote has been denied just because I may not be in a certain party.
