Being prepared to vote is one way we can put our faith into action, care for our neighbors, and participate in shaping the communities we share.
As election season approaches, ReconcilingWorks invites you to explore the ELCA’s Prepared to Vote Checklist, a resource designed to help you approach Election Day with information, intention, and confidence.
Our Lutheran faith calls us to love our neighbors and recognize the inherent dignity of every person. Civic engagement offers an opportunity to live out these commitments while making informed decisions rooted in our own values.
Before you head to the polls, take a few moments to:
✅ Confirm your voter registration and eligibility.
✅ Find your polling place and check voting hours.
✅ Learn what is on your ballot.
✅ Explore early voting and absentee voting options.
✅ Check your state’s voter ID requirements.
The checklist also includes helpful nonpartisan resources to make voting information more accessible.
Your voice matters. Your preparation matters. Your participation matters.
Election Day is November 3, 2026. Take time to make your voting plan and share this resource with your congregation, family, and community.
