Vote Faithfully

“It is a Christian obligation to vote, and more than that, it is the church’s responsibility to help get souls to the polls.” - Presiding Bishop Michael Curry

It’s time to get actively involved in the 2024 Elections. The Campaigns are in high gear, and as you know, there is so much at stake in this year's elections, locally and nationally. What can you do to get involved? Here is the answer.

Why should I vote early?

1. Avoid Last Minute Issues: By voting early, you can avoid any unexpected conflicts or issues that may arise on Election Day, such as transportation problems or sudden obligations.
2. Increased Accessibility: Early voting locations may be more accessible than polling places on Election Day, making it easier for individuals with mobility issues or busy schedules to cast their ballots.
3. Reducing Election Day Crowds: Early voting helps spread out the voting process, reducing congestion and long wait times at polling locations on Election Day.
4. Peace of Mind: Once you 've cast your ballot early, you can rest assured that your vote has been counted, allowing you to focus on other priorities leading up to Election Day.

“Participating in our country’s political life isn’t just about casting our own vote – it requires working together so we can all vote and vote faithfully. There are many ways to get involved – from participating ourselves to supporting others in our congregations and communities. We can all play a role in getting “souls to the polls!” - OGR
