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.

    Let’s strengthen our democracy by allowing every voter to vote in every election! Independents are the fasting-growing voter segment and closed primaries bar participation – let’s fix this easily-addressable issue NOW!

    The right to vote should not be denied based on party affiliation. It’s time to repeal closed primaries and allow all registered voters to vote in PA’s primaries!

    This would be great I changed my registered voting from independent just so I could vote in primaries. I don’t feel I fall on either side red or blue and quite frankly it should be illegal to deny the right to vote to a citizen on any level due to political affiliation.

    No one should be denied their EQUAL voting power just because they refuse to join one of two clubs which each only represent a minority of voters
