One of the most important things we can do to care for Creation is to VOTE. Multiple factors have created uncertainty around voting this year, including Covid-19, possible foreign interference, voting machine problems, mail delays, etc. Be sure to plan your voting strategy carefully whether you vote by absentee ballot, early voting, or on election day.
When you are ready to consider your choices of candidates, check the ICCT Voter’s Guide on this website. It has updated information to help you learn about candidates’ stands on creation care issues.
As you plan, here is information to consider from the Wake County Board of Elections.
