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.

    Both parties would benefit from hearing from outside their echo chamber, and receive a true barometer for how all those they will represent feel.

    The “democratic” part of our democratic republic means everyone should have an opportunity to vote. Many districts are skewed toward one party or the other, so the primary election is the one that matters. By preventing some registered voters in Pennsylvanians from voting in the primary, we are effectively disenfranchising them. Please open our primaries to all registered voters.
