About your Christian vote
Vote
A General Election provides an opportunity for Christians to speak out and play their part in voting. Believers have to make a judgement about how to use their vote to best effect.
Changing the law
A new Parliament could vote for a law bringing in assisted suicide; laws liberalising abortion and drugs; laws affecting religious liberty, freedom of speech, transgender rights and teaching on marriage, sex and relationships in schools. These are all issues of concern to Christians.
Useful info
The Christian Institute is a registered charity and we do not tell you how to vote. But we do provide useful information to help inform that vote.
Judgement
It is unlikely that you will find a party or a candidate you believe has all the right views. For many Christians there is a genuine dilemma over choosing a party or a particular candidate. Weigh the evidence and exercise your Christian conscience.
