Our mission is to ensure every young voter, in every election, has access to the ballot. 

College-aged voters are one of the largest populations of registered Independent voters in the country. In Pennsylvania, our closed primary elections impact college students' ability to fully participate in these elections vital to our democratic process. It's time we ensure every registered voter in PA has access to the ballot!  

 

"It is incredibly refreshing to witness these nonpartisan volunteer-driven students, advocating for a critical change."

-- Sen. Lisa Boscola, Video Remarks from our Visit to the PA Capitol
