Priests for Life is calling upon all believers to do all they can to register as many fellow believers as possible to vote in each year's elections.

You can obtain voter registration forms and give them to your friends at pro-life meetings and events, prayer groups, Bible studies, Sunday mass, 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.

Another way to promote voter registration is to conduct a Voter Registration Sunday at your Church. We call upon pastors of all denominations to exercise their legal and moral right to exhort their congregations to register to vote. Aside from the special national days, of course, this activity can be done on any Sunday of the year.  Voter registration Sundays for 2008 are as follows: January 20, April 20, June 29, September 7.

Voter registration drives fall within the activities that are permitted to tax-exempt organizations and churches. (Click here for guidance from the legal office of the United States Conference of Catholic bishops, and 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?
