‘My Vote Doesn’t Matter’: How to Respond to Christians Who Don’t Plan to Vote

As I’ve traveled across the nation this year, I’ve had many opportunities to speak about my work mobilizing Christians to engage in the political process. What continues to surprise me, however, is that many believers tell me they don’t plan to vote because their vote “doesn’t matter.”

Some say, “I already know who is going to win in my state.” Others claim, “I don’t know any of the people on the ballot. I wouldn’t even know who to vote for.” Still others tell me that it doesn’t matter who gets elected, because the problems won’t change.

Regardless of our opinions, it’s important to look at what God’s Word states about the importance of involvement in our communities.

At the most basic level, we are called to love our neighbor as ourselves. How does this apply to voting? Let’s examine a few exhortations that we can apply to this important season.

Loving Our Neighbor

If I care about my “neighbor” in the womb, the preborn child, I should do whatever I can to support candidates and policies that best protect the sanctity of his or her life. This one issue should motivate believers to vote for the most pro-life candidates possible at every level, from the office of president to local officials.
