Summary

Pope Leo is making history by casting his ballot. 🗳️ The Chicago-born pontiff became the first pope to vote in a U.S. general election, submitting a mail-in ballot in Illinois ahead of the Nov. 3 midterms, the Vatican confirmed. Voting from abroad is familiar territory for Leo, who regularly participated in U.S. elections before becoming pope, including while living in Peru. The Vatican said he believes in “the right and the duty of citizens to participate in democratic processes.”
