A call for integrity “in the processes that shape our systems of governance and form the basis of our shared well-being” was sent to members of Congress Oct. 29, 2026, signed by the ELCA with additional heads of D.C.-based offices of religious denominations and national organizations.
This checklist was made so that congregations can share vital voting information with their members! This can help folks get oriented and ready for the election. Download and fill out the checklist, and post it in your narthex, on a bulletin board, or somewhere else where people can see it!
This resource guide is designed to encourage, empower and equip voter education and other responsible civic participation shaped by faith values.
Because USPS postmarks may not reflect the day you put your ballot in the mail, a ballot mailed now may not receive an Election Day postmark. That’s why LEAN encouraged voters to mail their ballots by October 27.
If you still have your mail ballot, please take it to an official ballot drop box—or vote in person today.
Election Day is Tuesday, November 3. Polls will be open from 7:00 AM to 7:00 PM.
Make a plan to return your ballot and make your voice heard.
