Pope Leo to vote by mail in Illinois midterm election
Original: Pope Leo will vote from the Vatican, by mail, in Illinois' midterm election
Pope Leo, the first US-born pontiff, will cast a mail-in ballot from the Vatican in Illinois' midterm election, according to the Chicago Sun-Times. The Pope, who previously served as a cardinal in Chicago, retains his US voter registration, allowing him to participate in the state's contest from Rome.
Why now: The novelty of an American pope voting by mail from Rome in a US election is drawing wide attention.
