Lawmaker wants earlier PA primary

Posted

HARRISBURG, PA — Legislation introduced on May 18 by Rep. Keith J. Greiner would change Pennsylvania’s presidential primary date from the fourth Tuesday of April to the third Tuesday of March, a move that Greiner says would increase the Commonwealth’s relevancy in the race for the White House and, as a result, aim to further stimulate voter participation.

Greiner said. “By moving Pennsylvania’s primary to the third Tuesday of March, my bill would restore the Commonwealth’s relevancy in shaping the direction of our country.”
