The Episcopal Church Office of Government Relations:
"Resolved, That the Church recognizes that a faithful commitment to voting is an extension of our baptismal covenant to "strive for justice and peace and the dignity of every human being" and asks all Episcopalians to actively engage in advocating for voter rights, encouraging voter registration, getting out the vote, and volunteering to assist voters at the polls." (Executive Council 02/2004)

That 2004 Executive Council resolution affirms that voting is a critical part of our Episcopal call to "strive for justice and peace among all people." As Election Day approaches, we want to provide you with resources to help you make the most of your opportunity to vote and helping others to do so.
