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 should not have to vow affiliation with a political party that I fundamentally disagree with in order to vote for a candidate that I loosely support as my only means of political representation. By the people, for the people… but only some of them? How is this constitutional? We deserve to vote – ALL of us!
