As the United States prepares for the 2026 midterm elections, people of faith have an important role to play in upholding the integrity of the democratic process. As the nation marks 250 years of democracy, these elections reveal the moral, political and social priorities of the nation. Amid concerns about election interference and declining public trust in elections, people of faith are called to stand as protectors and observers of the vote. To support this work, Church and Society has created the UMC Election Observers Program to equip United Methodists to serve as election observers. Election observers are trained individuals who observe polling places and election processes to help promote transparency, fairness and public confidence in elections. Unlike poll workers, they serve as nonpartisan witnesses to the electoral process rather than administering elections. Over six weeks, participants will explore the history of voting in the United States, the sacred nature of the vote, the role and responsibilities of election observers, and how to become an observer in their state and local community.
