Just 3 Days Left: Are You Ready?
There are only 3 days left until the first Voter Registration Sunday!
Are you ready? Here's what you need to know:
1. 25 million Christians didn't vote in the last
presidential election - and an estimated 15 million
aren't even registered.
As Christians, we are called to be engaged in our communities
for their good (Jeremiah 29:7) and to fulfill our civic
obligations (Romans 13). Voting is a way we can live out both
of those Biblical commands!
Sadly, millions of Christian Americans aren't registered
to vote - so it's no wonder that atheists are the
most politically active "religious" group in our
country.
How can you help change this trend? Help members of your church
get registered by hosting a Voter Registration Sunday!
To make it easy, we've designated both September 20 and
October 4 as Voter Registration Sundays.* September 20 is just
three days away, so be sure to take action now if you plan to
participate then!
If you live in AK, MT, RI, SC, or UT, you will need to
participate in September to meet your state's voter
registration deadline. We also strongly encourage you to
consider this option if you the following states, because these
states require registrations to be postmarked immediately after
the October date: AR, AZ, FL, GA, HI, IL*, IN, KY, LA, MS,
NM*, NV*, OH, TN, TX (*state deadline falls on 10/6. All
other listed states' deadlines are 10/5. For both cases,
we encourage you to choose September or to postmark/urge
congregants to postmark registrations immediately on 10/5
should you choose the October option.)
2. Hosting a Voter Registration Sunday at your church is an easy,
legal, and biblical way to ensure your church members are
registered to vote in time for the election!Voter Registration
Sunday is simple when you use our short, downloadable guide.
As you consider how to ask your church leadership about
hosting the registration, here are a few things you might share
with them:

1. Voting - and voter registration - are
biblical! (see above)
2. Voter registration is legal! The IRS allows your church
to host a non-partisan voter registration! More details
in our downloadable guide.

3. It's easy and can be as direct or passive as your
leadership is comfortable with (though the more direct,
the better the outcomes). See below for more details!
3. You can design your Voter Registration Sunday to meet your
church's needs.

Whether your church is meeting online, in person but
contactless, back to normal, or some combination of the three,
there's a Voter Registration Sunday tool for every need!
Just be sure to ask your church leadership ahead of time and
ensure that the date(s) you host are before your state's
registration deadlines (see above).
You can even make use of our custom QR code to help people directly
start the registration process right away! All the details are in our
guide.

This election, it's critical that Christians show up to the
polls to elect leaders who will "seek the welfare of the
city" (and the nation!). Will you help us make sure they are
ready to do that?
