Faithful citizens vote

Take your faith from the pew to the poll.

Millions of Christians sit out every election. Pew to Poll helps believers and churches register, get informed, and show up — because loving our neighbors includes caring for our communities.

“Seek the welfare of the city where I have sent you… and pray to the Lord on its behalf, for in its welfare you will find your welfare.” Jeremiah 29:7

Why it matters

Voting is one way we love our neighbor.

Scripture calls believers to be salt and light, to pray for those in authority, and to seek the good of the places God has put us. In a free society, the ballot is part of that stewardship.

Matthew 5:13–16
“You are the salt of the earth… You are the light of the world.”

Salt only preserves when it's applied. Our convictions shape our communities when we show up.

1 Timothy 2:1–2
“Pray… for kings and all who are in high positions.”

We pray for leaders — and in a democracy, we also help choose them. Do both.

Proverbs 29:2
“When the righteous increase, the people rejoice.”

Good governance blesses everyone. Every level of office — from school board to Congress — matters.

Micah 6:8
“Do justice, love kindness, and walk humbly with your God.”

Vote prayerfully, informed by Scripture and conscience, with humility and respect for others.

Questions

Frequently asked

Is Pew to Poll partisan?

No. We don't endorse candidates or parties. Our goal is to see more Christians registered, informed, and voting according to Scripture and their own conscience.

Shouldn't Christians stay out of politics?

Our ultimate citizenship is in heaven (Philippians 3:20), but God has placed us in real communities with real needs. Voting is one practical, peaceful way to seek the good of our neighbors.

What if I don't like any of the candidates?

Pray, research, and remember that your ballot has many races — local offices and ballot measures often affect daily life the most. You can vote in the races where you have conviction.

How do I check if I'm registered?

Visit CanIVote.org, run by the National Association of Secretaries of State, and choose your state.

Can my church host a voter registration drive?

Yes. Nonpartisan voter registration and get-out-the-vote activities are generally permitted for churches. Check your state's rules for handling registration forms.
