Pope Leo XVI has requested to vote by mail in the upcoming U.S. midterm elections, marking a historic first for a pontiff. Originally from Chicago, he submitted his application on October 3 in Illinois, where he remains on the voter rolls. U.S. voting regulations vary by state, but Illinois allows registered voters to vote by mail regardless of their current residence. Pope Leo XVI, previously known as Robert Francis Prevost, has a history of voting in various elections and has been vocal against certain U.S. policies. If he submits his ballot, he will be the first pope to participate in American elections.
