The National Pro-life Religious Council, along with other national
Christian organizations, is calling upon pastors of all denominations to
exercise their legal and moral right to exhort their congregations to
register to vote. Specific Sundays have been designated as "National
Christian Voter Registration Sundays". |

Pastors can obtain voter registration forms and distribute them at pro-life meetings and events, prayer groups, Bible studies, Sunday services, or any other function. If you are organizing an event, have a voter registration table as part of it. Filling out the form could hardly be simpler, and takes about two minutes. Voter registration drives fall within the activities that are permitted to tax-exempt organizations and churches. (click here for guidelines from the Internal Revenue Service.) Our specific project has been examined and approved by experts in the relevant federal laws. Pastors who choose to carry out this project on one or more of the designated weekends, or a weekend of their own choosing, can come to this web page for further guidance on how to conduct such a project, and for suggested homily material and prayers to incorporate into the worship service on such an occasion.

Along with doing voter registration in Churches, you can do it in many other settings as well. For example, are the people in your prayer group, Bible study, or adult education class registered to vote? Why not arrange to have the voter registration forms available at those meetings between now and the registration deadline in your state? |
